Varonen Doubles After Attacking Limps
Level 12
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Lucas van den Belt limped in under the gun, with several of his tablemates following suit. Lauri Varonen then raised to 60,000 in the big blind, after which Van den Belt quickly three-bet to 210,000.
"Why did I raise?" Varonen lamented after the rest of the table had folded. He then called off for 190,000, revealing the cards.
Lauri Varonen: K♠J♠10♦7♦ 
Lucas van den Belt: A♠A♣Q♦7♣
Varonen flopped huge on 10♠3♦J♦ with two pair and a flush draw. The 3♠ turn counterfeited his two pair, but the 2♦ river completed his flush, doubling him up and leaving Van den Belt with half a starting stack.
