Kirk Doubles Again; Takes Chip Lead

The action folded to Brad Albrinck, who completed from the small blind. Tripp Kirk raised to 330,000 from the big blind, and Albrinck called.

The dealer fanned {10-Spades}{8-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}, and Albrinck checked. Kirk continued for 245,000, Albrinck silently raised to 850,000, and Kirk went into the tank. After nearly a minute, Kirk moved all in for 4.25 million, and Albrinck quickly said, "Call."

Albrinck: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Kirk: {10-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

There was over 9 million in the middle when the dealer rapped the table and turned the {a-Diamonds}. It was no help to Albrinck.

Kirk would double and become the chip leader if he could dodge a jack, ace, seven, or queen on the river.

The river was the {k-Spades}, successfully doubling Kirk to 9.16 million chips. Albrinck slipped to around 4.05 million.
