Thorson Puts Himself at Risk
William Thorson took an unconventional approach to his last hand against John Racener. Racener opened for 275,000 pre-flop, passing the action to Thorson in the small blind. Thorson then surprisingly announced that he was all in, for just less than 4.0 million! Racener tanked for several minutes, perhaps trying to puzzle out what was going on. Ultimately he decided to fold his hand.
