Niveau 5
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
With 85,000 in the pot to the 
turn, Paul Newey checked out of the small blind. Jean-Noel Thorel instantly pushed all-in and Newey asked for a count. The shove by the French businessman was for 75,000 and Newey took some ten seconds before calling.
Paul Newey: 
Jean-Noel Thorel: 
The 
river improved Thorel to a full house and Newey's stack was counted. He had 74,500 at his disposal and was subsequently knocked out, as Newey gasped a "wow" before heading out of the tournament room.
