Thorson's House of Cards Goes Down

That title actually makes it sound like he's busto, which he isn't. I just wanted to report an eye-popping fold William Thorson made (which in turn was told to me - I don't usually write second-hand stories, but this is unusual...).

On an {A-?} {J-?} {10-?} {10-?} {A-?} board, Thorson was apparently confronted with a large (not all-in) bet. He thought for ages before folding an {A-?} face-up! Totally sure, apparently, that his opponent held either A-J or T-T, he let the house go.
