Thorson Hammered

No sooner than he had knocked out a player to put him back up to near his starting stack, the downward slide began again for everyone's favorite singing Swede William Thorson.

We're not sure who did the betting, but Thorson (cutoff) and his one opponent (small blind) put 1,200 apiece into the pot on the {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop. They both checked the {j-Spades} turn and indeed checked the {a-Diamonds} river as well before Thorson revealed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}. His opponent turned over {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for winning trips, and Thorson dropped back to 22,000.
