Thorel Binks the River

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

After a raise by Dan Smith from under the gun, short stack Jean-Noel Thorel got his last 12,400 in from the button. The action folded back to Smith and he called with the {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}. Thorel only had {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and was ready to go and purchase a re-entry.

However, the board came {9-Clubs}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}{A-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and the eight on the river saved Thorel. Smith was left short while Felix Bleiker was spotted leaving the tournament area.
