Thorel Surrenders Some of His Big Stack
Niveau 11
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alex Kulev and Jean-Noel Thorel were looking at a completed board of 4♣A♥K♠9♥2♣, with around 75,000 chips in the middle. Kulev jammed his stack of 36,000 from under the gun and Thorel tossed in a call from the button.
Both players had to show down and Kulev's A♣10♣ outkicked Thorel's A♠6♠ as he raked in a double-up. Thorel, meanwhile, remained one of the larger stacks on the table with around three starting stacks in his possession.
