Jacks Are Good for Varkonyi

Robert Varkonyi is still alive, although his wife, Olga, busted out a short while ago.

Over at Robert's table, he and three others limped in to see a flop come {2-Spades}{J-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}. It checked around to Varkonyi who bet 800, and only the player in the big blind called. The turn was the {4-Clubs}. This time Varkonyi bet 1,500 when checked to, and again his opponent called.

Both checked the {A-Clubs} river. Varkonyi showed {J-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} for jacks, and his opponent {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for the busted straight draw. Varkonyi is back close to the starting stack now with 29,000.
