Sounds like sanding time again.

With all the new varnishes on the market in spray cans I've gone to this for my smaller job in the shop. It's much quicker and easier on the clean-ups too.
You can palm sand the top layer down with 220 grit paper, then wipe it clean, look real good to see if it's smooth, if it is then give it a coat of spray varnish, practice first on a piece of wood about the same until you comfortable with it.
Make sure your done for the day, there are no flies in the shop, no dust for a few hours and leave it alone. Go back after six hours and check it. Follow directions on the can for a second coat. I've done as many as six coats to get a water like finish, very nice.
If you insist on a brush, get a brush for this, get a "Purdy" for varnish and then watch how you stroke the brush, evenly and softly.

You could always wet sand the table with 400 paper and thin the varnish out with a little paint thinner and put the final coat on with a foam brush.You can also buy varnish in a spray can for your final coat.

Get a 260 or 300 sandpaper grade (the higher the grade is better) n slightly sand it down. Clean the table w/ a moist cloth, let it dry n re-varnish it again...(use an old cotton t-shirt n lightly wet it w/ varnish; pass it over the affected it area...let dry well before placing anything on it)

Go over the varnish with wire wool or a sander to remove the lines, I never use a brush when varnishing furniture, a lint free pad (old bit of well washed bedsheet) stuffed with cotton wool or so. Just make sure there is no dust,wipe with white spirit damped cloth, then rub your varnish soaked pad over....no brushmarks, no brush, no brush to clean

johncob is right.
sand it again and redo varnishing
you can add more thinner your varnish so that it would be too wet to leave brush lines. but because the varnish is too thin you have to do about 3 coats.

turn it on its side, use a hair dryer to soften the varnish, and it should take them out

Sand lightly with steel wool. May need another coat after.

Maybe you used a low quality brush. You will probably have to sand it back and re-do it
