Varnell Eliminated Early

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

Kevin Varnell, who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer and put into the tournament by his son Craig Varnell, for his first-ever WSOP playing experience was just all-in on the turn for his last 6,000 chips and faced calls from two opponents.

The final board read {10-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

On the river, one of his opponents bet and the other folded.

Kevin Varnell: {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

Varnell's day in the tournament has unfortunately ended early, but we hope he had a great experience.
