Richard Kirsch Eliminated in 10th Place ($17,976)

Richard Kirsch - 10th Place
Richard Kirsch - 10th Place
Richard Kirsch open-shoved all in for his remaining 93,000 from early position. A few seats over, big stack Jean Gaspard made the call, while the rest of the table ducked out.

Showdown
Kirsch: {2-Spades} {2-Hearts}
Gaspard: {4-Spades} {4-Diamonds}

Once more, the entire table rose to their feet and the audience around the table pushed in closer, hoping that this would be the last hand of the night.

The first four cards off the deck were no help to Kirsch, coming {9-Clubs} {10-Spades} {10-Clubs} {K-Clubs}. With one card to come, Gaspard looked over toward the rail and yelled, "Watch this, three on the river. Three on the river."

As if from above, the {3-Diamonds} spiked the river, locking up the pot for Gaspard's pair and sending Richard Kirsch toward the exit in 10th place.

The final table is set!
