Varkonyi's Got a Big Pair

Robert Varkonyi in Event #13

Tom Parr raises under the gun to 2,200 and Robert Varkonyi, winner of the 2002 main event, reraises all in to 17,200.

"Wake up with a hand, Mr. Varkonyi?" says Parr.

"No shame in doubling me up," says Varkonyi.

"Got a big pair?" says Parr.

At that point, with the ESPN cameras watching, Varkonyi stands up and motions as if he's unzipping his pants. "Wanna see my big pair?" he says.

Then, while Parr is still in the tank, the dealer starts chatting with Varkonyi, asking him where his bracelet came from, apparently never having noticed the massive photo of Varkonyi along the wall.

Eventually, Parr folds and Varkonyi rakes in the pot. He has 20,975.
