Varnado Turns Quads to Triple
Level 29
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 0 ante
Eric Varnado bet on a flop of K♠6♥2♣ and was called by Ben Vidal and Tomomitsu Ono.
The turn came the 6♣ and Varnado bet the rest of his chips. Vidal and Ono both called to the Q♠ river, where Vidal put out a bet. Ono tank-called and both players showed ace-king.
Varnado, though, had 8♠6♦6♠2♥ for quad sixes as he tripled up.
"How did you like that turn card," Erik Perry asked him as Varnado found new life in the tournament.
