Thorel Off to a Great Start
Niveau 1
: 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Dominik Nitsche has experienced an even rougher start than David Peters and was left with just a fraction of the 250,000 starting stack after a big clash with Jean-Noel Thorel.
It was Thorel that opened to 2,500 and Nitsche in the cutoff that three-bet to 10,000. Thorel called and check-called a bet of 15,000 on the 
flop, followed by another barrel worth 40,000 on the 
turn.
On the 
river, Thorel bet 75,000 and Nitsche tossed in calling chips without using a time bank. Thorel turned over 
for just a pair of nines, yet it was good enough to win the pot as Nitsche mucked his cards.
