William the Conquerer

William Thorson
William Thorson

Along with three other limpers, William Thorson saw a {K-Hearts}{4-Spades}{10-Spades} flop from the small blind where his check led to a bet of 800 from the small blind. A player in early position called, but Thorson repopped to 3,000 with 7,150 behind.

The big blind thought for a moment before moving all in for 9,000. The other player sidestepped out of the way and Thorson made the call.

With {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} versus {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}, Thorson was in dominating shape, and remained in tact despite a harmless {8-Diamonds} turn and {9-Clubs} river.

Thorson back up to 26,600 after hitting a few early hurdles.
