To the Victor Go the Spoils

William Thorson

Spanish pro Victor "Mendi" Mendicuti limped from early position before calling a raise to 1,200 from William Thorson just one seat down.

On the {3-Spades}{8-Hearts}{Q-Spades} flop, both players checked leading to an {8-Clubs} turn where Thorson led for 1,400. Mendicuti called.

The river came the {A-Spades}, and Mendicuti turned aggressor by leading for 3,500. Thorson slammed his call onto the table, only to be shown {8-Spades}{4-Spades} for the spade flush.

Thorson drops to 24,500, whilst Mendicuti continues to slice and dice his way through the competition like a psychotic butcher with 78,000.
