Varkonyi's Power Move Wins a Pot

After one limper came into the pot from early position, former WSOP Main Event champion Robert Varkonyi raised to 2,000. The limper was the only caller for a flop of {5-Spades}{q-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. That player checked, then called Varkonyi's bet of 2,000. When the turn fell {k-Spades}, Varkonyi's opponent led out with his own bet of 4,000. It was Varkonyi's turn to call, taking the two men to the {8-Diamonds} river. Varkonyi's opponent bet 14,000, putting Varkonyi to a decision. He took so long a clock was finally called. That prompted Varkonyi to move all in for 35,000 total. His opponent did not call.

Varkonyi is up to about 65,000.
