Three Hands To Bust Thorel

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 3,000 from the cut off before Benjamin Pollak raised it up to 8,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Thorel made the call.

The flop came down {7-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Thorel check called another bet totalling 7,000 before both players checked the {8-Clubs} on the turn.

With the dealer producing the {q-Clubs} on the river, Thorel Instantly moved all in for 30,400 in chips. The bet had Pollak covered by just 200 in chips. After a minute of thinking, Pollak made the call and Thorel tabled his {a-Hearts}{10-Spades} for ace high. Pollak tabled {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for a pair of jacks and the winning hand.

In the very next hand, Thorel moved all in for one 100-chip from the hijack. Ivan Soshnikov raised it up to 3,000 which was enough to force the blinds out.

Thorel was in trouble with his {4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} up against {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and was almost out the door when the dealer spread out the {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{j-Spades} flop. Fortunately the turn and river came the {a-Diamonds} and {q-Hearts} to put a straight on the board as half the table yelled out to Thorel to come back.

In the final hand, Thorel moved all in for 400 from middle position. The action folded around to the player in the big blind who had the bet covered already and rolled over his {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Thorel showed {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and was unable to make it third time lucky as the board ran out {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} to see him leave the tournament floor.. again!
