Thorson Hates His Set

Allen Bari opened the pot with a small raise, and Tom Marchese made the call a couple seats over. Next to Marchese, Team PokerStars Pro William Thorson moved all in for about 70,000 total. That was enough to get Bari out of the way, but Marchese quickly called the remainder to put Thorson at risk.

Showdown
Marchese: {9-Hearts} {9-Clubs}
Thorson: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}

The flop was {3-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {K-Hearts}, and Thorson sunk in his chair, clearly nervous at what was about to unfold. The turn {2-Spades} was safe and clean, but the {A-Hearts} on the river was an ugly way for him to make a set of aces. The fourth heart gave Marchese the flush, and Thorson slowly stood and made his exit.

Marchese appeared to be a little pained by that turn of events, but the table consoled him as he stacked that pot. "Don't worry," someone said. "You'll get over it."

Marchese's new stack of 355,000 should help ease his regrets a tad.
