Varnado Wounds Fitzhugh

Chris Land

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/15,000, 0 ante

Eric Varnado raised on the button before seeing a three-bet come from Scott Fitzhugh in the small blind. Varnado called and the players saw a flop of 9♠J♥J♦.

Fitzhugh led with a bet that Varnado quickly called, taking both players to the K♠ turn card. Both players checked through to the river which came the 7♣.

Fitzhugh bet out and was called by Varnado who showed A♦A♣10♠9♦ which was good for the whole pot versus Fitzhugh's A♥8♥6♠2♣.

"That was a self-inflicted wound", Fitzhugh said to Varnado as he watched him collect the pot.

Varnado Sends Al-Shanti to the Rail

Chris Land

Level 22 : Blinds 8,000/15,000, 0 ante

Bryan Micon raised in middle position and Abdullah Al-Shanti called from the button for less, putting his tournament life at risk. Eric Varnado called from the big blind and all three saw a flop of Q♠7♠6♠.

Varnado bet the flop and Micon opted to call and see the Q♥ turn card. Varnado bet out again, this time getting a fold out of Micon and sending Al-Shanti and Varnado to a one card run out for Al-Shanti's tournament life.

Abdullah Al-Shanti: A♦10♦6♦5♠
Eric Varnado: A♠J♠J♥9♣

With no available low, the K♠ river was inconsequential and Varnado's flush was good for the whole pot, ending Al-Shanti's tournament run.
