Instead of a Split Pot, Thorel Scores the Double-Up
Niveau 23
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Sergi Reixach raised to 165,000 from the button and Jean-Noel Thorel three-bet to 480,000. Reixach four-bet jammed with the bigger stack for Thorel to snap-call for the 3,200,000 he had behind.
Jean-Noel Thorel: 
Sergi Reixach: 
When the players and railers saw the hole cards, they were all prepared for a split pot but the excitement grew with each card of the board that was being dealt as it ran out 
for Thorel to hit the runner-runner nut flush to double up to a big chip lead.
