William Thorson - 6th Place

William Thorson opened for a raise to 85,000. Jason Mercier put in a reraise to 225,000. Thorson thought a bit and announced all in and Mercier immediately called. They showed:

Thorson: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

Mercier:

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Hearts}

The flop was disaster for Thorson as it came {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{6-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

. He needed to go runner-runner to stay alive. The drama ran high as the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

hit the turn. Thorson was drawing dead and the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

was a mere formality. Thorson let a dissapointed smile slip as he shook hands with the table and headed towards the payout table to pick up his $216,946 consolation prize.
