Thorel's Tournament Life Terminated

Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Thomas Fjellheim made a bet from the small blind on a flop of 10?9?10?, after which Jean-Noel Thorel jammed in his stack of 69,000 chips from the hijack. Fjellheim immediately called as the cards were turned face-up.
Jean-Noel Thorel: Q?J?
Thomas Fjellheim: K?K?
Thorel needed an eight to stay alive, although the J? turn gave him some extra outs. The Q? river saw Fjellheim make a straight, however, raking in the pot and eliminating the French high roller from the tournament.
