Matt Vengrin

Jarred Solomon is trying to be the first player to repeat as a 2009 Aussie Millions champion. He raised to 36,500 from the small blind after action folded to him. That put the pressure squarely on Matthew Vengrin, who was in the big blind and short-stacked. He called all in with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Hearts}

and was up against the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{J-Diamonds}

of Solomon. Solomon never improved on his starting hand, finishing with a king-high on a board of {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

. As a result, Vengrin doubled up to 48,000. Solomon still has a healthy 228,000.
