Long Lost Brothers Kessler and Varkonyi Reunite

Niveau 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

Between hands, Allen Kessler spotted someone he knew on the rail near his Amazon 510 table. Identifying this person as his brother, he called out to his family member.

It turned out to be none other than Robert Varkonyi, the 2002 WSOP Main Event Champion, who could bear a physical resemblance to Kessler in the eyes of some.

"Hi Allen, how are you?" said Varkonyi in a deadpan voice. The conversation didn't go any further and the Main Event returned to normal shortly thereafter.
