Thorel in Trouble
Level 7
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
On the tail end of a board 
, Bertrand Grospellier bet 125,000 out of the big blind and Jean-Noel Thorel called. Grospellier flashed the 
and Thorel mucked the 
.
One hand later, Thorel opened to 50,000 and Renato Nowak called, as did Joao Simao in the cutoff. On the 
flop, Nowak bet 150,000 and forced folds from both opponents. Thorel was moved to a different table right after with just over half the starting stack.
Chi Zhang and Philipp Zukernik bought back in for the second attempt and that boosted the field to 33 entries.
