Varnell Thriving

Nader Alfred raised to 400 and Craig Varnell three-bet to 1,200 from one seat over to pick up a call by Albert. On the flop, Alfred bet 1,000 and Varnell just called before then raising the turn from 2,000 to 5,000. Alfred called and then checked the river.

Varnell made it 8,800 to go and his opponent eventually called to get shown as winning hand by Varnell. "I have never bagged up here," Varnell said after the hand was over.
