Blind Defense, and a Little Offense from Varkonyi

Shamus

2002 Main Event champion Robert Varkonyi is here, sporting a Yankees cap and sunglasses. His wife, Olga, is here playing today as well. Robert has been mostly keeping out of harm's way these first three hours, although when the blinds come around he's sometimes been seen joining into the fray.

The button opened with a raise to 600, and Varkonyi called from the big blind. The flop came {A-Hearts}

. Varkonyi checked, his opponent continued for 600, and Varkonyi folded.

Same scenario two orbits later, with the button raising to 600 and Varkonkyi calling from the big blind. This time the flop came {Q-Clubs}
