Beris Finds a Card

Under the gun, Iaonnis Beris came in raising, and the table folded around to the small blind. There, Engelberth Varela made a three-bet to 55,000, and Beris shoved all in for 162,000 total. Varela made the call, and the race was on.

Showdown
Beris: {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}
Varela: {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades}

Beris stood up to sweat his fate, and he has a little crowd of supporters in the room who pressed up against the stage and began to yell their support. The brief frenzy was quickly quieted as the {10-Clubs} {J-Hearts} {3-Hearts} flop drew a forlorn look from the at-risk player. "Ten on the flop," he said in his language, informing his rail of the bad news.

Beris was already tucking his chair under the table when the blank {2-Spades} turned, but he found a card on the river. The {Q-Hearts} peeled off the deck, and Beris and his fans broke back into frenzied celebration. The Venezuelan has found his Broadway double to climb back to average in chips, while Varela's stack drops back to about half of his former self.
