Thorsson Finds Queens, Becomes the King of England

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 200 ante

Amsterdam Master Classics winner Kristoffer Thorsson has had an amazing day - from just 28,000 around two hours ago (he started the day even shorter on just 21,800), he is now at a mammoth 350,000, among the chip leaders.

After doubling through Brian England to 260,000, we found Thorsson finishing the American off. It looked as though England had shoved and Thorsson had made the call.

England: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Thorsson: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Board: a close-but-no-cigar {q-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

England left without a word - and without his jacket, which remained draped over the back of his chair as he disappeared into the casino. We hope he comes back for it. Meanwhile Thorsson looks very comfortable with his newfound big stack status.
