Varkonyi Gets His Break

We made the scene after the flop had come {3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}, prompting Robert Varkonyi to commit all of his stack of 21,950 and another player to go all in as well. Michael "The Grinder" Mizrachi had been in the hand, but had folded -- and said later he'd let go of pocket aces.

If so, it was a good fold, as Varkonyi had {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and his opponent {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and the river the {J-Hearts}, and Varkonyi chips all the way up to 55,000.

"All I ask for is one break a day," said Varkonyi afterwards.
