Thorel Catches Stroke Bluffing
Level 4
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel opened 20,000 in the cutoff and Shawn Stroke defended the big blind. When the 10♠6♥4♥ flop hit the felt, Stroke check-called a bet of 20,000 from Thorel.
The J♦ fell on the turn and once checked to, Thorel fired 20,000 once again. Stroke called.
The Q♥ completed the board on the river and Stroke took the lead, firing 60,000 across the line. Thorel wasted no time tossing in chips to make the call to hear the words, "You're good."
Stroke rolled 8♦7♠ for a busted straight draw and Thorel took down the pot with two pair as he showed J♣10♣.
