Matt Kirby Eliminated in 2nd Place ($192,751)
Jeff Fielder began the day with the largest stack, and now he's finished it with all the chips.
In what would be the last hand of the 2012/2013 World Series of Poker Circuit Choctaw Durant Main Event, Matt Kirby opened for 280,000 and was met by a three-bet to 880,000 by Fielder. Kirby responded by four-betting 1.88 million, Fielder moved all in, and Kirby snap-called.

Fielder: 
Like we've seen so many times throughout the tournament, it was a race; however, this time it was one for $120K in prize money. Everyone in the room was on their feet and surrounding the table as the dealer put down the 
flop. Kirby missed, but he did pick up counterfeit options.
The dealer burned and turned the 
, giving Kirby even more counterfeit outs, but the 
river was not one of them. Fielder had rivered a full house to eliminate Kirby in second place for $192,751, nearly four times his previous top score of $52,085.
