Varkonyi Doubles Through Scotty Nguyen

In yet another recent collision, Robert Varkonyi doubled through Scotty Nguyen, who's been involved in several big hands of late.

After a 1,200 bet and call on the {2-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop, the big action came on the {2-Diamonds} turn. Nguyen checked, Varkonyi bet 2,500, Nguyen check-raised to 5,000, and Varkonyi shoved for his last 4,150. Nguyen shrugged, likely sure he was behind, but tossed in the 1,550 for the call. Nguyen had {K-Spades}{5-Spades} for two pair, but was indeed trailing when Varkonyi showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}.

The river blanked with the {7-Spades}, and Varkonyi pulled in the 18,200 pot. Nguyen dropped back below 10,000 with the big hit.
