Thorel Gets Counterfeited
Level 8
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Kayhan Mokri raised to 10,000 from middle position. Justin Saliba called in the small blind, as did Jean-Noel Thorel, in the big blind.
The K♥4♠3♣ flop checked through to the 6♠ on the turn. The action checked to Mokri, who bet out 22,000. Saliba folded and Thorel called.
The 3♠ river checked to a showdown. Thorel tabled 6♦4♥ for two pair and expected to be awarded the pot when Mokri showed 9♠9♣; upon being reminded that paired board saw Mokri's two pair best, Thorel conceded the pot.
