Rodriguez Falls to Vengrin
Matt Vengrin limped in from early position and Amnon Filippi also limped on the button. Juan Rodriguez completed from the small blind, and Sean Troha checked in the big blind.
On the 7♣A♠2♠ flop, Rodriguez and Troha checked, before Vengrin bet 50,000. Filippi called and then Rodriguez made it 425,000, leaving himself just a few chips behind. Vengrin then planted a huge stack of blue chips, worth 100,000 each, into the pot.
"Wow! So sick!" shouted Filippi, who didn't like the spot he was on and eventually announced a fold. A few seconds later, Rodriguez called off his remaining 60,000 he had behind.
Juan Rodriguez: Q♠5♠4♥3♥ 
Matt Vengrin: K♠K♥J♠J♣
Rodriguez's flush draw was dead, but he did have a straight draw that he could hit to survive. The J♦ on the turn improved Vengrin to a set, and the 6♣ on the river bricked out, meaning Rodriguez hit the rail.
