Thorel's Ace-High Gets Two Streets
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel raised 5,000 in the cutoff and only Timothy Adams called in the small blind.
The dealer spread a flop of Q♠J♥5♠ and Adams check-called a bet of 7,000.
The 3♣ hit the turn and Adams check-called once again. This time Thorel's bet was 12,000.
When the 6♦ landed on the river, Adams took about 20 seconds before deciding to tap the table and Thorel knuckled back. Adams tabled K♥10♦, missing his open-ended straight draw and Thorel dragged the pot with A♥K♣.
