The second half of the field left for dinner a few moments ago, but not before the odd big hand slanted the landscape a little.
The slanting came from William Thorson’s table where the Team PokerStars Pro now sits surrounded by the likes of Jorn Walthaus and new arrival Joao Barbosa. But neither Walthaus or Barbosa have stopped the Swede from heading for dinner 35 grand to the good.
Thorson’s windfall came when he found pocket kings which he then used to bet with, then re-raised with and then call Ben Kang’s all-in with against pocket queens. The jack high board saw to it that whatever choice Thorson makes for dinner, it will taste good.
Jorn Walthaus is himself making headway, up to around 30,000 by virtue of a glittering run of hands. Then Ben Kang kicked the can, finishing his plummet from brilliant to bust when he ran A-K into a set of jacks on an A-J-7 flop.
Guten appetite.
