Matthew Kirk opened with a raise to 1,325. All others folded around to the big blind and he moved in for his last 4,200. Kirk was rather quick to make the call.

Kirk: {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

Opponent:

{7-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

The flop landed Kirk with top pair when the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{5-Diamonds}

{3-Spades}

was spread out by the dealer. The turn, the {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

, added a flush draw for Kirk and took away some outs for his opponent. A picture card on the river, the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

, concluded the hand and sent the chips over to Kirk while eliminating his opponent.

Doing well, Kirk has now built up to 27,000 chips.
