Thorel Takes From O'Dwyer Then Doubles Up Bonomo
Level 10
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel opened to 16,000 from under the gun and called Steve O'Dwyer's three-bet to 60,000.
Thorel checked the J?7?5? flop and O'Dwyer checked back from the cutoff. On the 6? turn, Thorel led out for 55,000 and O'Dwyer folded.
Two hands later, Thorel opened in the small blind before Justin Bonomo, with a stack of 380,000, three-bet from the big blind. Thorel responded by four-bet jamming as the bigger stack and Bonomo called for his tournament life.
Justin Bonomo: A?K?
Jean-Noel Thorel: J?J?
It was a classic race, but Bonomo inched ahead after pairing up on the A?6?3? flop and ended up with trips following the 7? turn and A? river.
