2002 WSOP CHAMPION ROBERT VARKOYNI
2002 WSOP CHAMPION ROBERT VARKOYNI
Spoiler!!
the boom BEFORE the poker boom
Even way back in 2002, Phil Hellmuth still managed to make it all about him.
And he had a bet that If Robert Varkoyni wins… it’s HOLY HAIRCUT BATMAN
Did he shave his head?
so this is where robbi got the J4 offsuit idea from she thought she was playing in this WSOP at that very moment… she had a flashback… an AHA moment
Varkonyi was basically just humble Jamie Gold with less attention.
That dealer needs to retire
Greg Raymor in the audience at 24:59, 2004 Champ.
Ralf got lucky, he was not playing poker just going all in with AK, Tony G has his number. On your bike
How bad is the dealer on that first hand?
He Had difficulty figuring out pot payout first hand. Almost screwed up before another player stopped him. Dude’s shirt was too tight around love handles
Gabe Kaplan and Phil helmuth have similar mouths / lips
robert varkonyi is the true prince of poker, the true ambassador of hold em, the real reason for the poker boom. varkonyi is on the mount rushmore of poker. varkonyi is life.
