Kirk Sent Packing
Jean-Robert Bellande opened to $4,000 with the straddle on, and Phil Ivey made it $15,000 in the cutoff. Matthew Kirk called from the straddle, and Bellande mucked. Kirk check-called $25,000 on the 
flop, and $45,000 on the 
turn. The 
river put a four-straight out there, and Kirk fired his last $83,000. Ivey quickly called, and he took the pot with 
for a straight.
Having busted two buy-ins, Kirk evidently decided to call it a session, as his seat is now empty. Ivey's now playing about $850,000.
