DeepStack Championship Event #65 Final Table Update

Ryan Jaconetti moved all in for 350,000 from middle position. Sandeep Varma then moved all in over the top for just over a million which forced a fold from everyone else at the table.

Jaconetti: 5♣ 5♠
Varma: A♦ T♦

The flop came A♥ 3♥ 8♠ improving Varma to a higher pair on the flop.

Jaconetti was half way out of his chair before the dealer dropped the 5♦ on the turn giving him a set of fives and an unbeatable hand.

The meaningless 8♣ on the river only improved Jaconetti to a full house which saw him double up to 900,000.

Both players checked the T♠ on the turn before the Q♥ completed the board.

Tanouye fired out 700,000. Varma snap-called.

Tanouye tabled A♣ K♣ for a straight and took down the pot after Varma reluctantly mucked his hand.

Sandeep Varma – 900,000
