Varnell Stacks Two
Level 20
: 4,000/8,000, 0 ante
Action folded to the player in the hijack and he raised to 38,000. John Nguyen shoved from the button for 123,000 and Craig Varnell made a pot-sized four-bet out of the small blind, putting the hijack to a decision for the remainder of his stack. He went into the tank for just under a minute before he ultimately called to put himself at risk.
