We mentioned Julian Thew earlier, referring to him as the man who sent Greg Raymer to the rail in minutes the last time the EPT stopped by in Deauville. Thew was no fluke and was on his way to winning an EPT event himself, as well as others across the UK and Europe. To date he has over $2 million in tournament prize money. A good player then...
He just made it 1,200 from the cut off. The button, Donovan Baer of France, called, with the blinds and early limpers all folding. Time for a flop of Jd-Qs-Kh.
Julian Thew
Thew made it 1,100 which Baer raised immediately to 3,000. Thew wasted no time in re-raising to 8,500 before Baer moved all-in. That was that. Jacks made a set for Baer against Thew's king-queen for two pairs.
The turn, 3d and river Ah advanced neither hand any further doubling up the Frenchman. Thew took just 3,000 into the second break of the day while Baer moves up to 19,000.
