Craig Varnell raised to 2,000 from under the gun, Thomas Carroll called from middle position, Ami Alibay called from the hijack, the player on the button called and the player in the big blind called.

The flop came down KhQc6h and the big blind checked to Varnell who bet 6,500.  Carroll called, Alibay folded and the button folded. The player in the big blind check-raised all in for about 23,000, Varnell reraised all in about 85,000 and Carroll called all in for about 21,000.

Varnell showed KdQs for top two pair, the big blind showed KdQd for top two pair as well and Carroll was well ahead with 6c6s for a set of sixes.

The As turn and 2d river completed the board, safe for Carroll to triple up.

Thomas Carroll – 75,000 (94 bb)
Craig Varnell – 66,000 (83 bb)
