Kirby Fighting Back

Dale Roesel opened for 255,000 under the gun and all three of his opponents called. Two checks on the flop put action on Roesel, and he continued for 650,000. Jeff Fielder and Bryan Campanello both folded, but Matt Kirby opted to check-raise all in. It was enough to get the job done as Roesel conceded the hand. With that, Kirby chipped up to 5.2 million.

In the very next hand, Fielder opened for 250,000 under the gun and Kirby and Roesel called from the small and big blind respectively. With two checks in front of him on the flop, Fielder continued for 360,000. Kirby then check-raised to 1 million, Roesel folded, and Fielder made the call, bringing about the turn. Kirby moved all in for roughly 4.5 million and Fielder gave it up.
