There was some commotion on the table of Craig Varnell and Artur Dukaj just before the break and a not so sober player ended up getting a one-round penalty. Varnell was kind enough to relay what had happened during the hand:
Another player raised to 6,000 and was called by the penalized player and Dukaj and Varnell in the blinds.
The flop came ![]()
![]()
, both Dukaj and Varnell checked. The initial raiser made it 10,000, the other player called, Dukaj folded, and Varnell called.
The turn brought the
for the second club to come on the board. Varnell checked again, the initial raiser shoved for around 100,000, the other player shoved too for more and Varnell called for around 200,000.
Initial Raiser: ![]()
![]()
Craig Varnell: ![]()
![]()
Other Player: ![]()
![]()
The initial raiser had the flush draw while the other player had flopped a full house, sevens over eights. But Varnell had turned the better full house with eights over sixes.
The river completed the board with a
to not change things as Varnell earned a full double through the not so sober player and eliminated the initial raiser.
It seemed to kick off after that as the other player was sent away to cool down.
