Matt Kirby was all in for 20,200 out of the blinds on an {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}{a-Hearts} flop when we arrived at his table. Opponent Chris Jones was thinking it over in middle position with a wager of 7,000 in front of him and decided to call.

Kirby: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Jones: {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}

Kirby chuckled upon seeing his opponent's cards, and he headed for the exit after the {4-Clubs} turn left him drawing dead on his second bullet.

Fielder Hits a Snag

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Jeff Fielder bet 7,500 on a board of {4-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{q-Spades} and a short-stacked opponent on his left shoved for about double that. Fielder called right away, showing {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a combo draw. His opponent had turned top two with {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}, and Fielder missed the river as a {4-Diamonds} fell.

He's still among the leaders, though "DQ" Dan Hendrickson is now pushing the 100,000 mark.

Friedman Forces on Dahlin

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Adam Friedman raised to 850 from the cutoff after two players limped from early position, and Adam Dahlin repopped to 2,200 on the button. Everyone folded back to Friedman, who made the call. The two checked the flop, and Dahlin bet 2,100 after Friedman checked to him with the board reading {2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{8-Hearts} on the turn. Friedman called, and the {j-Clubs} paired the board. Friedman thought for a minute or so and announced all in, and Dahlin folded.
