Veldhuis Can't Close it Out; Thorson Emerges Victorious

William Thorson - Advances
William Thorson - Advances
Lex Veldhuis had a big chip lead with 92,000 to William Thorson's 28,000 just a few hands ago. Now though, Veldhuis is the one leaving the table in a bad mood as Thorson celebrates his win.

On the final hand, Veldhuis made his move with {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts}, and it was bad timing as Thorson found {Q-?} {Q-?}. A third queen came on the flop, but it arrived with two hearts as well. Thorson managed to dodge a third heart though, claiming the victory and advancing on to Day 2.
