Thorel Takes the Lead

Level 19 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

In a battle button versus big blind, Jean-Noel Thorel bet the {J-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop for 150,000 and Benjamin Pollak check-called. Pollak checked again the {K-Spades} on the turn and called a bet of 250,000 before checking the {A-Hearts} on the river. Thorel bet 475,000 and Pollak called.

Thorel showed {Q-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a straight and Pollak sighed visibly, then mucked.
