Jean-Noel Thorel Eliminated in 3rd Place (�173,900)

Level 22
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised to 120,000 from the button and Jean-Noel Thorel jammed in his stack of 800,000 or so chips from the big blind. A snap call followed from Chidwick, and the cards were tabled.
Jean-Noel Thorel: K?3?
Stephen Chidwick: A?Q?
Chidwick flopped two pair on 8?A?8?, and the 5? turn had Thorel drawing dead. He graciously took his exit as the 4? river rolled off, leaving Chidwick and Adrian Mateos to battle heads up with nearly even stacks.
