Blumenthal Loses a Small One; Kirk in the House

Level 1 : 25/50, 0 ante

Over at Table 20, action folded around to Eddie Blumenthal in the cutoff and he opened for 125. The button and both blinds called, the flop came down {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, and three checks put action on the button. He fired out 300, only Blumenthal called, and the dealer burned and turned the {3-Diamonds}. Blumenthal checked and then ended up folding when the button bet 800.

It wasn't much of a hand, but what was of note was that two-time WSOP Circuit ring winner Tripp Kirk took his seat at the table shortly thereafter.
