Thorel Unphased by Watson's Pressure
Niveau 20
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 100,000 from under the gun before chipleader Mike Watson made it 325,000 to go from the big blind. Thorel obliged with a call and the pair went off to a flop of 7♣K♠8♦.
Wattson continued with a bet of 140,000, followed by a call from Thorel. The 7♦ turn then slowed down Watson, who opted to check.
Thorel put in 400,000 chips, the majority of his stack, and Watson quickly folded, seeing the chiplead change hands back to the French all-time money leader.
