Saklad Sends Kirsch Home

[user253757]

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

After making the move over to the new tournament area with a short stack of just 30,000, and running that up to 80,000 using pocket aces two hands in a row, Lee Kirsch just hit the rail.

Kirsch had benefited from bullets on two consecutive hands - while also eliminating Armando Then with over - but his rocket ship was just shot down by Steve Saklad.

Kirsch moved all in before the flop after looking down to see the in the hole, and after Saklad called with his , Kirsch announced that he did not know what card lay hidden underneath yet another ace. He slowly slid the remainder of his hand out from under the prettiest card in the deck, no doubt hoping to find bullets for the third time in less than 30 minutes.

Unfortunately for Kirsch - who just cashed in his third consecutive tournament - he found the waiting underneath, and the final board ran out to leave him with no pair... and no chips.
