Watson Sends Thorel Away to Reenter

Level 6 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The flop read {j-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Jean-Noel Thorel had gone all-ni from the big blind for around 45,000. Seth Davies quickly folded in the hijack but Mike Watson made the call from the cutoff with the bigger stack.

Jean-Noel Thorel: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Mike Watson: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

They had both flopped top pair but Watson was ahead with the ace-kicker.

The rest of the board was completed with the {7-Diamonds} on the turn and the {3-Spades} on the river for Thorel to bust. Thorel made his way to the reentry table.
