Bad Timing for Thorel
Level 8
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Juan Pardo opened 35,000 in the hijack and Jean-Noel Thorel defended the big blind.
Both players checked to the 6♦5♦2♣4♣ turn, where Thorel check-called a bet of 50,000 from Pardo.
The 9♦ landed on the river and Thorel quickly splashed three chips across the line for a bet of 75,000. Pardo thought for a couple of seconds before making the call.
Thorel tabled Q♠8♥ for queen-high and Pardo showed Q♥9♠ to drag the pot with a pair of nines.
