Thorel Finds the Light at the End of the Tunnel
Level 7
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and Vanessa Selbst called from the big blind. The flop came 9♠7♣5♦ and Selbst check-called a bet of 50,000 from Thorel.
The turn was the J♠ and Selbst checked again. Thorel announced a bet of 75,000 and Selbst check-raised to 260,000. Thorel jammed all in and Selbst called off her stack of around 625,000.
Vanessa Selbst: 10♠8♣
Jean-Noel Thorel: Q♣10♥
Selbst turned the nut straight but Thorel still had some outs to come from behind. It was the 8♠ on the river that gave Thorel a bigger straight and Selbst exploded out of her seat before heading to the exit.
