Kirby Doubles Early

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Matt Kirby got outflopped, but he caught up on the river.
Matt Kirby got outflopped, but he caught up on the river.

A player checked to Matt Kirby on the button in a three-bet pot, and he bet 1,200 on the {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop. Kirby's opponent check-raised to 3,300, and Kirby responded by reraising to 10,000. His opponent pushed all in, and Kirby called for about 8,000 more.

Kirby: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}
Middle position: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Kirby's opponent had flopped a flush, but Kirby was still drawing live to a pair on the board. A {10-Clubs} turn changed nothing, but the {8-Hearts} river gave Kirby the boat he needed. The sponsored pro is not a player others will want to see with a hefty stack, but he's on his way.
