Thorel's Ace-High Gets Two Streets
Level 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel raised 5,000 in the cutoff and only Timothy Adams called in the small blind.
The dealer spread a flop of Q?J?5? and Adams check-called a bet of 7,000.
The 3? hit the turn and Adams check-called once again. This time Thorel's bet was 12,000.
When the 6? landed on the river, Adams took about 20 seconds before deciding to tap the table and Thorel knuckled back. Adams tabled K?10?, missing his open-ended straight draw and Thorel dragged the pot with A?K?.
