Craig Varnell

Action is back underway with an unofficial 484 entries showing for Flight C creating the biggest session so far. We will post the numbers once the accounting is complete and see where we are in relation to the $1,000,000 Guarantee.

The big stack we saw on break belongs to none other than Craig Varnell. He’s up to 183,900 more than halfway through the day with first break leader Noel Atherley sitting in second at 158,000.

Varnell has six titles to his credit and they are solid gold. He won a WSOP Circuit ring in 2014, followed that up with a WPT500 Las Vegas title in 2015, and added an EPT $5K Six-Max win later that year.

He won a Deep Stack Extravaganza event in 2016, took a year off trophies in 2017, then won his first WSOP bracelet in 2018.  Capping off a Triple Crown/Grand Slam kind of thing in his young career, Varnell put his name on the WPT Champions Cup for the first time this summer.
