Matt GrahamUntil recently, Matt Graham was widely known for his bracelet in last year’s $1500 limit hold’em shootout. He took on Jean Robert Bellande heads-up and won his first bracelet, while earning $278,180 in the process.

This year, he won his second bracelet in a much tougher field, event no. 40, the $10,000 pot-limit omaha world championship. This year, he denied Vitaly Lunkin his second bracelet of 2009 and took home $679,402.

With 19 people left, Graham made a big call against Matt Vengrin with just one pair for his tournament life to help propel him to the final table. He sat down to break down his thinking on each street.
