Ace-High Evens the Match

Level 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 100,000 on the button and Kayhan Mokri called.
The flop came 7?3?7? and Thorel bet 100,000. Mokri called to the J? turn, where Thorel fired out another 250,000.
Mokri again called and the Q? fell on the river. He checked and Thorel burned through a time bank before checking back. Mokri then turned over A?2? for ace-high and Thorel mucked.
The two players drew virtually even in chips with that pot.
