Razz
Matt Vengrin: 6x2x/7x7x8x3x/Qx
Opponent 1: XxXx/8x10xKx - folded fifth street
Opponent 2: XxXx/Kx5x9x4x/Xx
Matt Vengrin raised his seven in early position and was called by an eight in late position and the bring-in with a king.
On fourth street, Vengrin paired, to cede the betting lead to the original caller who bet his eight-ten. The bring-in then raised, but Vengrin called, as did the original bettor.
Fifth street saw Vengrin pick up an eight to improve hand, but the bring-in now had the betting lead with king-nine and led out. Vengrin now raised, which shed the other player. The bring-in called.
On sixth street Vengrin improved again and after his opponent bet, he raised. His opponent called to see seventh street.
Both players now checked and Vengrin revealed his eight-seven which was the winner to score a near double-up.
