Varkonyi Losing Steam

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

We just caught a hand where former Main Event Champion Robert Varkonyi and Todd Breyfogle were all in preflop. Varkoni held the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} but was behind to Breyfogle's {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}. The board ran out {a-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Breyfogle doubled up.

After the hand Breyfogle had around 6,200 while Varkonyi was down to 4,500.
