[user75032]

The APPT Grand Final is over for Matthew Kirk. Despite his recent double-up, he found himself still somewhat short on chips. He got involved in a four-way pot in which each player contributed 2,500 chips before the flop. On the flop of {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

, Kirk shipped his last 3,825 into the middle. Action folded to Mark Deutsch, who tanked for several minutes. He decided to call as soon as Kirk called a clock on him.

Kirk: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

Deutsch:

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

Deutsch was in very bad shape, but hit a miracle card on the turn with the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

. Kirk had outs to a straight or flush but missed them all when the river fell {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

. He's out of the tournament.
