Thorel Calls a Three-Bet
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Before the hand was dealt, Mikalai Vaskaboinikau thought he was the big blind and put in the 6,000.
"That's a straddle," Kayhan Mokri joked.
"Maybe I raise. Raise in the dark," Vaskaboinikau replied before mucking.
Patrik Antonius then raised to 12,000 in early position before Sam Grafton, next to act, three-bet to 36,000. Jean-Noel Thorel called the reraise in middle position as action folded to Alejandro Lococo in the big blind who gave it some thought before mucking.
Antonius also folded as Grafton and Thorel went heads-up to the Q♣7♠3♣ flop. Grafton slowed down and checked, and Thorel then tossed out a bet of 50,000. Grafton took one last peek at his cards before mucking.
