Thorel Running Away From the Pack
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 75,000 on the button and Steve O'Dwyer called in the big blind.
The flop came K♣5♦9♣ and Thorel bet 100,000. O'Dwyer, with less behind, buried his face in his hands as he used up two time banks before eventually folded. "Good fold," Thorel told him as he showed the K♠.
Thorel then called a 55,000 raise from Kayhan Mokri as they went heads-up to the 4♠2♠8♣ flop. Mokri bet 35,000 on the button and Thorel came back with a raise to 100,000.
Mokri called and both players checked the K♣ turn. The river came the 8♠ and Thorel led out for 100,000. Mokri called, only to muck when Thorel showed 4♦3♦.
