The Mighty Thor Doubles Up

Thor Hansen's last hand went down pretty much as you expect such hands to go down. An opponent opened for 1,700; Hansen reraised to 5,500. The opponent put in the third raise to 16,000, then called when Hansen moved all in for 36,000.

Before the cards were on their backs, Hansen's opponent seemed to know he was probably beat. "I like your hand," he told Hansen.

"Me too," Hansen replied. He showed {A-Spades}

. His opponent showed {K-Spades}

and never improved.

Hansen is up to 77,000.
