Fielder Doubles in First Hand of Heads-Up Play

Matt Kirby's 2-1 chip lead didn't last long, just one hand in fact.

On the very first hand of heads-up play, Kirby raised to 280,000 from the button only to have Jeff Fielder three-bet to 740,000 from the big blind. Kirby pushed back with a four-bet to 1.68 million, Fielder called, and the flop came down {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Fielder checked, Kirby bet 1.45 million, and Fielder moved all in. Kirby thought for about 15 seconds and called with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}, which was in bad shape against the {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} of Fielder. The crowd was on its feet to sweat the turn, which came the harmless {5-Hearts}. Kirby needed a queen on the river to claim victory, and while it was paint, the {J-Hearts} was not quite it.

With that, Fielder is now the one with a 2-1 chip lead.
