Ace-High Will Do for Thorel
Level 7
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Tsugunari Toma opened to 6,000 from under the gun and received calls from Gerard Pique in the cutoff and Jean-Noel Thorel in the small blind.
All three players checked through the 8?7?6? flop leading to the 8? on the turn. Thorel checked, Toma bet 8,000, Pique got out of the way and Thorel made the call.
Both players checked the 5? river.
Thorel showed down A?10? for just ace-high and after looking at the board for a moment, Toma revealed the A? in his hand before sending it into the muck.
