However, for this purpose, they should get rid of any element of the wardrobe. Varkonyi has left the game almost at once due to unsuccessful card combination. Undoubtedly, he has taken advantage of an opportunity to return to the game, having given for it the magnificent sheepskin coat with a hood. Varkonyi continued the game in one t-shirt, but soon three more players have joined him, which have remained in unenviable position, without clothes, in the middle of ice blocks. The cold in the ice lock was serious and the temperature reached minus fifteen degrees.
During the game, the quantity of players behind a table has considerably decreased; nevertheless, Varkonyi remained in the game as a result of running a jog around a poker table. Without hesitation, Robert gave up different elements of the wardrobe, only to not concede to his opponent, famous champion Helppi.
