Thorsson Back from the Brink

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Kristoffer Thorsson, whose stack was not long ago bisected by Torsten Brinkmann, has just now doubled back through him.

Thorsson: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Brinkmann: {8-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

Board: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}

Thorsson is back up to 305,000, out of the danger zone for now. Remember, he came back from a 21,800 Day 2 starting stack yesterday to be second in chips this morning, so it would be a mistake to rule out another impressive recovery. Still, Thorsson is not doing nearly as well as Brinkmann - the German is still at over a million.
