Thorel Takes His Leave in the Dying Minutes
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Ben Heath had open-raised from the cutoff and Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet all in from the button for his last 31,000 chips. Heath made the call and the players flipped their cards over.
Jean-Noel Thorel: A♠Q♠
Ben Heath: 8♦8♥
Thorel did not hit a pair on the 7♣5♣J♠ flop, and the 8♠ turn gave Heath a set. Thorel now had a flush draw, however. Sadly for him, the river was a red 6♥ and Thorel busted his second bullet in the final stretch of Day 1. With only a single reentry available, he will not be returning on Day 2 in any fashion.
