Thornton Lapping the Field Early

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

After four players had limped into the pot in front of him, Schuyler Thornton raised to 2,000 from the big blind. Only a player in middle position made the call.

Action checked through a {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{q-Spades} board, and Thornton said, "Just ace-king," before turning up the aforementioned {a-Spades}{k-Spades}. His opponent mucked, and Thornton added to his stack, which already sits at more than three times the starting stack just over two levels into the day.
