William Thorson Eliminated

And the sick beat of the day goes to... William Thorson, who was just eliminated from the tournament.

Holding {A-?} {Q-?}, a {Q-?} {Q-?} {4-?} flop looks pretty dreamy, doesn't it? Thorson agreed and led out, getting called by his opponent. He led again when an {A-?} turned, making him a full house, his opponent making the call. The river fell a {9-?} and Thorson moved all in, getting quickly called.

Thorson's opponent turned over {A-?} {A-?} for the higher boat, eliminating the aggressive Swede in dramatic fashion.

All together now-- "aiii ya!"
