Vengrin Spikes the River to Double
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Limits: 2,000-7,000
Dong Chen opened to 6,000 under the gun and was called by Erick Lindgren in the hijack. On the button, Matthew Vengrin potted to 27,000. Chen repotted, Lindgren reluctantly folded his QxJx10x8x, and Vengrin was all-in for 85,500.
Matthew Vengrin: A♥A♣6♦4♠ 
Dong Chen: A♦K♠9♦2♠
It was a classic PLO8 flip between aces and ace-deuce-xx as Chen pulled ahead on the K♣9♠7♣ flop as Lindgren would have picked up a massive wrap. Chen picked up a low draw on the 3♦ turn. Vengrin was drawing to seven outs which he found with the case A♠ on the river to double.
