Varkonyi Sinking

Robert Varkonyi, who won the 2002 World Series of Poker Main Event, raised to 2,200 on the button. A player defended from the big blind, and the dealer fanned {7-Spades}{k-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Varkonyi's opponent check-called a 2,200-chip bet.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, and both players checked. The two knuckled again when the {k-Clubs} completed the board, and Varkonyi's opponent tabled {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Varkonyi mucked, and he's now down to 19,000 chips.
