Olga Varkonyi (event #15) eliminated from the Main Event
William Thorson raised to 825 and then Olga Varkonyi sitting on his immediate left reraised to 2,500. It folded back around to Thorson and he made the call. Before the flop came down, Thorson checked in the dark.

The flop was {J-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {4-Hearts} and Varkonyi moved all in for about 24,000. Thorson called in a heartbeat and turned over {J-Hearts} {J-Spades}. Varkonyi rolled over {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} and she would need some help to stay alive.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and the river the {A-Spades}. Varkonyi missed her outs and was sent to the rail.

The PokerStars pro Thorson, moved up to 54,000 on this hand.
