McEvoy Eliminates Varkonyi, Wins Champions Invitational

[user33020]

Tom McEvoy Wins Champions Invitational

And in just one more hand... over. The hand began modestly enough, with a limped flop of {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

{5-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

. Varkonyi bet 4,000 and McEvoy called.

The turn was a dangerous {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

. Varkonyi bet 8,000, McEvoy made it 16,000, Varkonyi pushed all in, and McEvoy quickly called. The hands:

Varkonyi: {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

McEvoy:

{10-Clubs}

{9-Diamonds}

Varkonyi seemed to have an open-ended straight flush draw but in reality had only one out -- the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

. No miracle here, as the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

fell instead and McEvoy wrapped up the title with the higher flush.
