Thorel the First to Fall

Level 3 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

We missed the big hand, but Sergi Reixach told us the details afterwards.

Reixach opened under the gun with {Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Jean-Noel Thorel called from the big blind. Thorel check-called a flop of {10-}{6-}{5-} with two hearts. He check-called another bet on the {4-Hearts} turn that gave Reixach the flush. Reixach bet 42,000 on a blank on the river and Thorel called, only to get the bad news right away.

Left with just 2,000, he first tripled up but eventually lost his last chips with {J-Spades}{7-Hearts} to be the first to exit.
