Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Matt Vengrin opened to 400,000 under the gun, and both Punnat Punsri and Bryce Yockey made the call.
On a flop of 8♦J♥5♦ Punsri open potted it for 1,400,000. Vengrin jammed and Punsri snapped.
Punnat Punsri: J♦10♠10♣8♣
Matt Vengrin: A♦J♣5♥3♣
Punsri was way ahead and only needed to fade a five or an ace, but the Q♣5♣ runout was a brutal one, as Vengrin hit a five-outer. Punsri exited the tournament area with grace, securing his second 3rd place finish of the series.
