From Terrible to Magnifique

Level 5 : 200/400, 50 ante

After an under-the-gun open and a Sergio Aido call, Jean-Noel Thorel jammed on the button for 6,725. Opener Dmitry Yurasov reshoved, and Aido mucked.

Thorel: {a-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Yurasov: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

"Oh!" a player said. "Terrible!"

The board came {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}, meaning Thorel had a better chance to chop than actually win the pot. However, the river was the {9-Spades}.

"C'est bon!" Thorel's neighbor now said. "Magnifique!"
