Jean-Noel Thorel Eliminated

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel
Jean-Noel Thorel

It has been an eventful day for Jean-Noel Thorel, but just like that the Frenchman met his demise in a massive clash with [Removed:17]. It was Thorel who opened to 1,500 from under the gun. Ole Schemion called from middle position and action got folded to [Removed:17] in the big blind. The Kiwi three-bet to 6,700, Thorel called, and Schemion folded.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Yan kept firing with a bet of 6,500. Without much ado, Thorel shoved all in for 35,000 and Yan snap-called it off.

Jean-Noel Thorel: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
[Removed:17]: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Needing an ace, diamond or running cards, the founder of Bioderma suddenly found himself at risk for his tournament life. Neither the {8-Hearts} on the turn nor the {9-Spades} on the river were one of Thorel outs, and he was eliminated. With Thorel's chips, Yan is now the new chipleader.
