String Raise from Thorel

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel check-called a bet of 80,000 on the {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop against Joni Jouhkimainen. The turn was the {3-Clubs}, and Thorel checked again. Jouhkimainen bet 175,000, and Thorel announced a raise. He had intended to make it 475,000, but first slid out the additional 300,000, and then the 175,000 for the call. This was ruled a string raise, and Thorel could only min-raise to 350,000. Jouhkimainen folded, and Thorel won the pot.

Jouhkimainen Doubles Thanks to a Lady

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Jean-Noel Thorel in the small blind, and he limped in. Joni Jouhkimainen raised to 140,000 from the big blind, then Thorel reraised all in. Jouhkimainen quickly called, but his {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades} was dominated by the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} for Thorel.

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} to give Jouhkimainen the double up.

Jonathan Duhamel Eliminated in 5th Place (�118,000)

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Jonathan Duhamel - 5th Place
Jonathan Duhamel - 5th Place

Jonathan Duhamel raised to 80,000 before the flop and found Thomas Muhlocker three-bet to 190,000 from the next seat over. Duhamel tanked for a bit before shipping all in over the top for what looked to be a little over 1.1 million. Muhlocker snapped him off.

Duhamel: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Muhlocker: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

"You said you're good at racing," remarked Negreanu to Duhamel from across the table. Duhamel let out a faint chuckle as he eagerly awaited the community cards.

Duhamel struck gold on the {9-Hearts}{J-Spades}{k-Hearts} flop, giving him a pair of kings and the lead in the hand. The {2-Spades} turned and Duhamel seemed primed to double here during five-handed play. Suddenly, the 2010 WSOP Main Event champion went from in the lead to out of the tournament as the river brought the {Q-Diamonds} and gave Muhlocker a winning straight.

Duhamel Over Negreanu

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

The table folded their hands around to Daniel Negreanu who completed from the small blind. Jonathan Duhamel checked to see a flop and it came down {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}. Negreanu fired 60,000 and Duhamel called. The {4-Diamonds} turned and Negreanu led once more, this time for 155,000. Duhamel stuck around.

The river brought the {4-Hearts}, pairing the board for the two players. Negreanu bet 205,000 and Duhamel snapped him off. Negreanu showed {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for nines and fours but was ultimately behind Duhamel's {K-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} for jacks and fours.

Ole Schemion Eliminated in 6th Place (�90,700)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Ole Schemion - 6th Place
Ole Schemion - 6th Place

Daniel Negreanu raised from under the gun to 64,000. Jean-Noel Thorel reraised to 150,000 on the button, then Ole Schemion reraised all in for 284,000 out of the big blind. Negreanu folded, and Thorel made the call.

Thorel held the {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}, and Schemion had the {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Schemion was the player at risk and flipping for his tournament life.

The flop came down {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and Schemion joked to Negreanu that he would take a chop if a straight ran out. The {3-Spades} on the turn left Schemion needing only an ace or a jack to double, but the {10-Spades} on the river wasn't it.

Schemion was eliminated in sixth place for �90,700. LIke David Benefield, Schemion final tabled the �50,000 Super High Roller, cashed in the Main Event, and then made this final table. Schemion took sixth in the Super High Roller for �159,200, and 123rd in the Main Event for �10,000, bringing his Barcelona total to �259,900.
