Thorel Busts Watson to Take Chip Lead
Level 14
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Mike Watson moved all in from middle position for 142,000 and Ladva Ottomar called in late position. Jean-Noel Thorel then three-bet to 260,000 from the small blind and Ottomar called.
The flop came 7?3?9? and Thorel continued for 500,000. Ottomar folded and Thorel scooped the side pot before he and Watson revealed their cards. Watson had K?Q? and Thorel had J?J?.
The turn was the 3? and river the 6?. Watson didn't improve and Thorel held with his pocket jacks to win the pot, sending Watson to the rail.
