Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Robert Varkonyi has been short-stacked all day. Faced with increasing blinds and antes, and a dwindling stack, he moved all in preflop for 8,700 after another player raised to 3,500. That player made the call with {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Spades}

; Varkonyi held {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

. Neither player improved. Varkonyi's pocket aces were the best hand and allowed him to double up to 19,000.
