Thorson Picks Up Needed One

We caught up with the action on a {Q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop where a player check-called a bet of 800 from William Thorson. Both players checked the {5-Spades} turn and Thorson was the one who called a 1,650 bet on the {J-Spades} river. The opponent turned over {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for missed straight and flush draws while Thorson showed {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for top pair which was good to win the pot but still kept him below the starting stack.
