Feature Table Having Fun

Even though this is a freezeout, the feature table is certainly playing it as if they have nothing to lose.

So far the table of death has had heaps of straddling, blind raises, and bizarre action. It won't be long till we lose some of those guys.

In a recent hand Matthew Kirk shoved all in for about 2,000 and found a call out of middle position.

Kirk tabled his {Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds} expecting to be in some trouble but found himself surprisingly good up against {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}.

The flop of {10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs} hit neither player, but the {8-Diamonds} spiked on the turn to leave Kirk facing elimination. The river {Q-Diamonds} arrived just in time to save him though and move him back up to starting stack.
