Kirby Straightens Out Illingworth

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Matt Kirby bet 2,100 from the hijack on a board of {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{a-Spades}{9-Diamonds}, and Joe Illingworth called in the cutoff. Kirby fired bigger with 6,500 when the {8-Clubs} made a four-straight on board, and Illingworth announced a call. Kirby quickly tabled {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} for a jack-high straight.

"Nice hand," Illingworth said.
