Kirk Receives a Much-Needed Double

Level 16 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

A player in middle position limped and was soon met with an all-in shove to 38,000 by WSOP Circuit Harrah's St. Louis Main Event winner Tripp Kirk in the hijack. Action folded back to the limper and he made a reluctant call.

Showdown

Tripp{A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Limper{K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}

Kirk was in a dominate spot, and even more so once the flop came down {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. The {9-Diamonds} turn left the limper drawing dead, and after the {5-Clubs} was put out on the river for good measure, Kirk was pushed the roughly 90K pot.
