Monster Hand = Monster Pot for Varga; Smith Vows Revenge

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

William Smith opened to 2,400 and Peter Varga just ripped it in his face for 55,000. Smith considered his options for a bit and eventually decided to call it off and the cards were tabled.

Peter Varga: K7
William Smith: AQ

Smith was a favorite going into this matchup but the flop of K103 immediately gave Varga the lead with his pair of kings. The runout of 57 did nothing to help Smith and Varga scored a big double-up with his monster hand.

Smith has since vowed revenge and is eager to get another chance to battle with Varga, who says Smith is the "crazy man".
