Kirby Jams on Dennis
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
On a flop of 
, a player in the small blind and Nate Dennis in early position checked to Matt Kirby in late position who bet 6,000. The small blind called, and Dennis then check-raised to 25,000. Only Kirby made the call.
On the 
turn, Dennis continued his aggression with a bet of 40,000. the three-time MSPT Main Event winner responded by moving all in for approximately 150,000.
After about a minute of deliberation, Dennis folded to preserve his stack, while Kirby raked in a big pot to vault up toward the chip leaders.
