Thorel Takes From O'Dwyer Then Doubles Up Bonomo
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel opened to 16,000 from under the gun and called Steve O'Dwyer's three-bet to 60,000.
Thorel checked the J♥7♥5♥ flop and O'Dwyer checked back from the cutoff. On the 6♣ turn, Thorel led out for 55,000 and O'Dwyer folded.
Two hands later, Thorel opened in the small blind before Justin Bonomo, with a stack of 380,000, three-bet from the big blind. Thorel responded by four-bet jamming as the bigger stack and Bonomo called for his tournament life.
Justin Bonomo: A♦K♠
Jean-Noel Thorel: J♣J♠
It was a classic race, but Bonomo inched ahead after pairing up on the A♠6♠3♣ flop and ended up with trips following the 7♠ turn and A♣ river.
