William Thorson Gets Easy Double Up

[user40108]

William Thorson

Action folded around to the button who raised to 450. William Thorson, playing from the small blind, peeked at his cards and then tossed out 1,225. The big blind quickly folded and the button went into the tank.

With a look of contemplation and body language suggesting not calling, but folding or raising, he eventually pushed enough chips out to put Thorson all in. Thorson quickly called for a total of 4,150. The players showed:

Thorson: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

Opponent:

{Q-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

The button was drawing dead by the turn and Thorson is now sitting on about 8,500 chips.
