High Roller Champion Varnaev Off to a Good Start
Level 1
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
On a full board of 4♥2♦9♥5♠Q♥, there were around 45,000 chips in the pot when Sergei Varnaev fired out a small bet of 6,000 from early position.
Haghgou Seyedahmad was on the button and wasted no time to move all in for around 55,000. Varnaev didn't need to think for too long before he flicked in the call.
Seyedahmad was sheepish to flip over K♣8♣ for a total bluff, and Varnaev had the winner after rivering a pair of queens holding A♣Q♠.
Varnaev took down the $5,300 High Roller yesterday for a cool $200,000, and is off to a great start in the Main Event here on Day 1b.
