Matt Vengrin open-jammed for 33,500 from the hijack and was called by Tomasz Gluszko on the button. Vengrin tanked for a while before drawing two cards, after which Gluszko stood pat.
Matt Vengrin: 7x6x2x
Tomasz Gluszko: 10x8x7x3x2x
Vengrin turned over an 8x as his first card, but he slowly revealed a Qx as his second card. Unable to beat Gluszko's ten-low, Vengrin was eliminated a dozen or so spots away from the money.
