Staahle Has the Higher Kicker to Bust Thorel
Level 8
: 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
The flop read 
when all the chips went in with Jean-Noel Thorel at risk from the big blind for the 150,000 or so he had in front of him against Kent Staahle in the under-the-gun position with the bigger stack.
Jean-Noel Thorel: 
Kent Staahle: 
They had both flopped top pair but Staahle was ahead with the ace-kicker.
The rest of the board was completed with the 
on the turn and the 
on the river for Staahle to know the �10,200 Mystery Bounty winner out for today. Thorel might be back tomorrow, Monday, May 2 as registration will be open until the start of Day 2.
