Robert Varkonyi - alligator blood?
Robert Varkonyi - alligator blood?
A player in middle position raised to 1,800. Robert Varkonyi, with the button, was the only caller. The flop came down {J-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {9-Spades}, prompting the preflop raiser to bet 4,000. Varkonyi raised all in, covering the other player. He called. It was pocket aces for the preflop raiser and pocket jacks (for a full house) for Varkonyi. The turn and river came {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts} to make a flush for Varkonyi's opponent, but it didn't matter. He is eliminated and Varkonyi slides up to 25,000 in chips.
