Thorel Bests Watson as Heath Waves Goodbye
Level 13
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mike Watson raised to 16,000 from the cutoff and Jean-Noel Thorel called from the big blind. The 3?6?2? flop was checked by both players before Thorel led for 15,000 on the 5? turn.
Watson called and did so again when Thorel fired 30,000 chips on the 8? river. Thorel showed down A?4? for a straight and raked in the pot.
Meanwhile, Ben Heath was eliminated from an adjacent table when his last few chips went in with K?8? against the 10x9x of Adrian Mateos and could not hold.
