Jean-Noel Thorel Eliminated in 6th Place (�54,390)
Jean-Noel Thorel was running good so far, but Alex Bilokur did much better on the last hand and eliminated the Frenchman from the tournament.
Laurent Polito opened the hand with a raise to 40,000 from the button and Bilokur called from the small blind as well as did Thorel from the big. The flop went and all three checked.
Bilokur bet 55,000 on the turn and Thorel raised to 400,000. Polito went out of the way and Bilokur shoved. Thorel called and opened for a flush. However, he soon got disappointed to see Bilokur's for a king-high flush. The on the river didn't change a thing and Thorel hit the rail.
