Virant "The Tyrant" Doubles To Over 100K

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

In the hand directly before break, the button raised, the small blind three-bet, Steve Virant called from the big blind, and the button called as well.

The three players saw a flop of {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. The small blind checked, Virant checked, and the button fired 20,000 into a pot of 17,000. The small blind folded, but Virant check-raised all in for 54,000 total. The button tanked for about a minute and made the call.

Virant tabled {K-Clubs}{K-Spades} and his opponent slammed down {A-}{Q-} in frustration.

The turn was the {J-Diamonds} and the river bricked a meaningless {8-Hearts}. Virant is now up to over 115,000 in chips and ruling strong.
