Tony Cousineau opened preflop to 250 from the cutoff before William Thorson made it 625 on the button. Ludovic Lacay reraised to 2,075 in the small blind. Cousineau folded but Thorson made the call. Lacay and Thorson have tangled before many a time in EPTs and both know of each others super-aggressive reputation giving this hand an extra edge.
The flop came 
and Lacay fired out 3,000. Thorson flat-called to see an 
turn where the Frenchman bet 6,100, Thorson looked vaguely concerned but then called a second time to see the 
river. This time Lacay stacked up all his remaining chips and pushed them into the middle, a total of 16,525. This final bet appeared to be too much for Thorson, who gave up.
Lacay said, "What did you fold? Queens?" before readily scooping up the 22,000 chip pot.
