Tyler Foran

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a limped pot, the flop read A?7?6?, and Jean-Noel Thorel check-called a bet of 30,000 from Kayhan Mokri.

The 7? turn received checks from both players and when the 9? completed the board, Thorel led for 30,000. Mokri wasted little time surrendering his cards back to the dealer.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri limped and Jean-Noel Thorel checked his option.

When the Q?10?2? flop hit the felt, Thorel check-called a bet of 25,000.

The 5? hit the turn, and Thorel check-called once again, this time Mokri fired 125,000.

When the 6? landed on the river, Thorel checked for a final time and after eying up Thorel for a few seconds, Mokri fired a bet of 300,000. Thorel took less than half a second to say call as he rolled over Q?4? for top pair four-kicker only to see the Q?7? of Mokri, getting only slightly out-kicked.

Jean-Noel Thorel raised 85,000 and Kayhan Mokri made the call.

Both players proceeded to check to the river on the Q?Q?5?7?K? run out, where Mokri led for 110,000. Thorel put in a raise to 250,000, putting the action back on Mokri.

"I have a king, what do you have?" Asked Mokri with a chuckle.

Thorel didn't respond verbally but threw his hands up in the air and laughed.

Eventually, Mokri called to see the A?Q? of Thorel for trip queens and he mucked his hand.
