Thorson Roller Coaster

Maybe it's his Scandinavian roots showing through, but William Thorson appears to be involved in more hands than a manicurist. On his latest encounter, Thorson (UTG+1) checked the turn of an {A-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} board before leading out 8,400 on the {4-Spades} river, a thousand or two more than what was already in the pot.

Without hesitation, his opponent dropped two orange chips into the middle, but swiftly folded upon being shown {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for ze nuts.

The Thorson roller coaster continues; he's up to 35,000.
