Varnell Thriving

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Nader Alfred raised to 400 and Craig Varnell three-bet to 1,200 from one seat over to pick up a call by Albert. On the {Q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop, Alfred bet 1,000 and Varnell just called before then raising the {8-Hearts} turn from 2,000 to 5,000. Alfred called and then checked the {2-Spades} river.

Varnell made it 8,800 to go and his opponent eventually called to get shown {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts} as winning hand by Varnell. "I have never bagged up here," Varnell said after the hand was over.
