Varela on a Heater
Engelberth Varela raised to 525 from early position and watched as action folded all the way around to the player in the small blind, who pushed all in to the tune of 3,675. Varela made a reluctant call and the cards were turned up.
Showdown
Varela: 
Small Blind: 
Varela seemed relieved that he was racing, but he still needed help after the 
flop. He's been running hot here in the early stages of the tournament, so it was no surprise to see the 
spike on the turn to give him the straight and leave his opponent drawing dead. The inconsequential 
was put out on the turn as Varela collected the pot and sent his opponent to the rail. He is now up to 60,000.
