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 
, and three checks put action on the button. He fired out 300, only Blumenthal called, and the dealer burned and turned the 
. 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.
