Jacks Are Good for Varkonyi

Shamus

Robert Varkonyi is still alive, although his wife, Olga, busted out a short while ago.

Over at Robert's table, he and three others limped in to see a flop come {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

. It checked around to Varkonyi who bet 800, and only the player in the big blind called. The turn was the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

. This time Varkonyi bet 1,500 when checked to, and again his opponent called.

Both checked the {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

river. Varkonyi showed {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

for jacks, and his opponent {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{9-Diamonds}

for the busted straight draw. Varkonyi is back close to the starting stack now with 29,000.
