Varnell Wins With Aggression

Anthony Thompson

Level 5 : 300/300, 500 ante

Action on the table folded around to the hijack who raised and only Craig Varnell called on the button.

The flop came and Varnell's opponent check-called his 4,500 bet bringing the turn. Action was checked again to Varnell who tossed out a 20,000 bet and this time his opponent elected to muck their hand,

Chris Brewer Transitions from Collegiate Runner to High-Stakes Pro

Anthony Thompson

Level 5 : 300/300, 500 ante

Not many experiences can ready you for the high-stakes poker scene, but Chris Brewer’s career as a collegiate runner at the University of Oregon has seemingly prepared him well for a life in pressure poker.

After waking up early every day to compete with the best runners in the world, life in poker is relatively simple by comparison for the 27-year-old from California. The schedule is much easier and the grind is more rewarding, which made for a smooth transition into a poker career immediately out of college.

Brewer has been on a tear both online and in live tournaments, something that he has only recently started playing with more frequency. His massive online success includes a quarterfinal finish in the 2020 WSOP $10,000 Online Heads-Up No-Limit Hold'em Championship and a recent win in the $10,000 High Roller tournament during partypoker's WPT Online series in May.

Brewer has also run well on the live tournament scene, where he had three top-three finishes at the Wynn High Rollers series at the end of 2020. In January, Brewer beat 21 entrants to claim the $113,400 first prize in the third event on tour at the Aria High Roller series.
