Thorel Plays Out of Flow
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Michael Watson raised to 23,000 from the cutoff, receiving calls from Jean-Noel Thorel in the small blind and Pieter Aerts in the big blind.
The action checked to Watson, who bet out 20,000 on the A♠A♥Q♦ flop. Only Thorel called.
The 2♠ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Watson sized up to 75,000.
The J♥ landed on the river and Thorel elected to play out of flow, leading for 100,000. Watson snap-folded.
