"Should Have Gone Broke"

A player raised from middle position and made it 700 to see a flop and Matt Vengrin called from late position. The Big blind also came along for the ride and we had three to the flop. The flop came {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and the big blind checked. Next it was on to the middle position player who bet out 1,150. Matt Vengrin made the call and the big blind folded.

The {4-Hearts} on the turn saw another bet from Vengrin's opponent, this time for 2,850. Again Vengrin called and the dealer felled the last card, the {q-Diamonds}. It was here that the middle position player bet out 4,200. After a few moments of thinking Vengrin made the call.

The middle position player flipped over {2-}{2-} and Vengrin commented "I should have gone broke", but alas Vengrin sits with around 17,000.
