Kirk Brown

Kirk Brown

Level 22 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

After doubling up Duster Ellis with ace-jack versus jacks, Chris Stewart was left with less than a big blind when he got it all in against the same adversary.

Stewart held Jx9x while Ellis tabled Ax3x. The flop came out Ax3x9x to give Ellis two pair and the runout of 5x10x changed nothing to award Ellis the pot, sending Stewart to the exit.
