McEvoy Eliminates Varkonyi, Wins Champions Invitational

And in just one more hand... over. The hand began modestly enough, with a limped flop of {7-Clubs}{5-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Varkonyi bet 4,000 and McEvoy called.

The turn was a dangerous {6-Clubs}. Varkonyi bet 8,000, McEvoy made it 16,000, Varkonyi pushed all in, and McEvoy quickly called. The hands:

Varkonyi: {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}
McEvoy: {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Varkonyi seemed to have an open-ended straight flush draw but in reality had only one out -- the {4-Clubs}. No miracle here, as the {K-Clubs} fell instead and McEvoy wrapped up the title with the higher flush.
