Thorel Spikes a Set to Double Off Antonius
Level 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Kayhan Mokri raised to 18,000 in middle position, Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 40,000 in the hijack, and Patrik Antonius four-bet to 85,000. Mokri folded, while Thorel called to see the 9♦8♥2♣ flop.
Antonius then bet 100,000 and Thorel moved all in for 109,000. Antonius quickly called.
Jean-Noel Thorel: 8♠8♣ 
Patrik Antonius: A♣K♠
Antonius found himself up against Thorel's set of eights and was already drawing dead as the board ran out 5♥10♦ to earn Thorel a double up.
