Carrel Wins From Thorel, Thorel Wins From Helppi
Charlie Carrel was the one raising it up to 55,000 from the cutoff. Small blind Mustapha Kanit called and so did big blind Jean-Noel Thorel. Both blinds checked on 
and Carrel bet 65,000. Kanit folded, Thorel called. Both then checked the 
on the turn before the 
on the river had Thorel bet 75,000.
"Oooohhh!" Carrel exclaimed, "King? You have a king-face."
Thorel said nothing and Carrel eventually called. Thorel showed 
and Carrel took it down with the 
.
The next hand, Jean-Noel Thorel limped in from the small blind and Juha Helppi checked his big blind. Thorel check-called 25,000 on 
before both checked the 
on the turn. The 
on the river had Thorel bet out an even 100,000. Helppi thought about it for some time before he called.
Thorel tabled 
for bottom pair and Helppi just said "That's good," before sliding his cards into the muck.
