Less is Thorson

Five players made it to see the {8-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop; all five checked and they got to see a {q-Spades} turn for free. It checked around to a player in mid position who bet 400. William Thorson was the only caller.

They went heads up to the {9-Clubs} river and this time the mid-position player bet out 1,100. Thorson raised to 6,600, but his opponent instantly announced all in for an additional 10,600. Thorson dwelled up for some minutes, actually, literally scratching his head. Eventually he folded, and dropped to 11,500.
