And something apparent to everyone familiar with the Varkonyi’s, despite continued poker success, their focus remains the family. “Winning the Main Event is one of the more exciting things that has ever happened to me, but it doesn’t compare to how proud I was of Olga’s performance in 2005,” said Rob Varkonyi. “Olga and I have a pastime that we both revel in, and that makes me one of the luckiest men alive.”

“Rob and I work well together as a team, and I know we couldn’t have had so much success without each other,” said Olga.

A graduate of MIT, Rob works as a software engineer when he isn’t working the professional poker circuit. Rob competes in the Professional Poker Tour (PPT), writes a column for Card Player magazine, films instructional poker videos, gives talks on poker, appears at charity poker & casino events, develops new games and was recently profiled in the documentary Poker Kings. Rob and Olga reside in Great Neck, NY with their daughter Victoria, and are expecting another child in 2006.
