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

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

hit the turn. Thorson was drawing dead and the {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.

Gregory Genovese Reraises Eric Koskas

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Eric Koskas opened the pot for a raise to 75,000 from early position. Action folded around to Gregory Genovese in the big blind who looked at his cards. Genovese gave them a look as though they were rags prompting one of the commentators to quip "that's a fold." About ten seconds later, Genovese declared "all in."

With action back to Koskas, he said "Count," although most at the table and in the gallery thought he said "Call." After the clarification, it was determined that Genovese had Koskas covered so the call would be for his tournament life. Koskas took about two minutes before finally folding and Genovese picked up a much needed pot.
