Kirby Crippled

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Matt Kirby is working with a very short stack after missing a big draw.
Matt Kirby is working with a very short stack after missing a big draw.

Matt Kirby raised to 10,700 from the button after Dave Grandin in middle position fired out 4,000 on a {4-Spades}{10-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop. Grandin shipped all in for 46,200, and Kirby called immediately.

Kirby: {a-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Grandin: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Grandin's kings were ahead for the moment, but he had a lot of outs to fade. The {7-Spades} and {10-Clubs} two-paired the board, giving Kirby no help, and he sent nearly all of his stack to Grandin.

Shimelfarb Drags Huge Pot With Two-Outer

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Gennady Shimelfarb got lucky on the river.
Gennady Shimelfarb got lucky on the river.

Gennady Shimelfarb bet 6,400 from under the gun on an {8-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop. David Gutfreund raised to 14,200 in the cutoff, and Will Liebergen called on the button. Shimelfarb pushed all in for about 45,000 more, and Gutfreund folded after getting a count. Liebergen called.

Liebergen: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Shimelfarb: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

Liebergen had sprung the trap by flatting with his set, and Shimelfarb needed a queen to survive. The {7-Spades} turn was a brick, but the {q-Clubs} river was just the ticket for Shimelfarb.

Mike Shin bet 4,300 from early position on a {4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} flop. His opponent in middle position made the call, and Shin checked the {j-Clubs} turn.

Middle position: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Shin: {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Shin's nines were good.
