Maue Spikes a Flush to Double Through Thorel
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Leonard Maue opened the button to 40,000 and then called after Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 125,000 from the small blind.
On the 7♣3♣2♣ flop, Thorel open-jammed for 441,000 effective as the covering stack and Maue was displeased but he put in the call.
Leonard Maue: K♣Q♥ 
Jean-Noel Thorel: 2♠2♥
Thorel flopped bottom set but Maue had a flush draw. The 9♣ on the turn gave Maue the best hand and he faded the board pair on the A♥ river as he doubled at the expense of Thorel, who is now super short.
