Thorel Gets Counterfeited
Level 8
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Kayhan Mokri raised to 10,000 from middle position. Justin Saliba called in the small blind, as did Jean-Noel Thorel, in the big blind.
The K?4?3? flop checked through to the 6? on the turn. The action checked to Mokri, who bet out 22,000. Saliba folded and Thorel called.
The 3? river checked to a showdown. Thorel tabled 6?4? for two pair and expected to be awarded the pot when Mokri showed 9?9?; upon being reminded that paired board saw Mokri's two pair best, Thorel conceded the pot.
