Varnell Faces Big River Decision

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante
Craig Varnell
Craig Varnell

With a large pile of chips in the middle, Craig Varnell was deep in the tank on a river board of {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}, facing a check-raise to 25,000 from his opponent.

A call would leave Varnell with just 13,000 if he was wrong, but he'd have over 100,000 if he was right.

Varnell flicked in the calling chip and unfortunately for him, was wrong.

His opponent showed {8-Clubs}{8-Spades} for a flopped set, while Varnell frustratedly tossed {a-}{k-} into the muck as he riffled his now short stack of chips.
