Varonen Doubles After Attacking Limps

Frank Visser

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♦ All in
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.

Lauri Varonen raised to 35,000 in the cutoff. Stian Usterud three-bet his small blind to 110,000, but could take some chips back as Varonen called all in for 81,000.

Lauri Varonen: Q♥Q♠8♦3♦ All in
Stian Usterud: K♦K♣10♠2♥

Neither player improved on the 9♥6♣5♠10♣8♠ runout, seeing Usterud's kings best the queens of Varonen. Varonen hopped right back in, joining Nino Pansier and Stefan Lehner as the latest reentries.

In a blind-on-blind pot worth 70,000 Bharath Janardhan bet 25,000 on the K♠Q♦10♠ flop. Hossein Ensan called, after which the duo checked through the 3♦ turn.

The 7♠ river prompted Janardhan to fire 75,000, being snap-called by Ensan. Janardhan shook his head as he showed Q♣9♣7♥2♣ for two pair. Ensan had rivered a flush with his A♣J♠9♥8♠, raking in the pot.
