Varkonyi Doubles Through Harrington

Aces work for Robert Varkonyi
Aces work for Robert Varkonyi
Robert Varkonyi successfully slow-played pocket aces to double through Dan Harrington and vault into second place. Harrington raised to 2,500 preflop and Varkonyi called.

The flop came {8-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Harrington bet 4,500, and Varkonyi called again. The turn brought the {5-Spades}, Harrington bet another 12,000, Varkonyi pushed all in, and Harrington called. Varkonyi showed his {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} to Harrington’s {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and safely doubled when the {3-Clubs} river card fell.

Varkonyi at 71,000 after the hand.
