Kirk Has to Stick Around After Flipping for Stacks
Matthew Kirk called for a rack and began putting away his chips, presumably done losing money. Andrew Robl, however, offered to flip him for his remaining $65,000 or so. There was a catch though - if Kirk won the flip he would have to continue playing. Kirk agreed, and the game was paused while they players were each dealt a pot-limit Omaha hand.
The hands were face down as the dealer fired off a board of , with the river face-down. The players turned their cards over one by one. We couldn't see what they had, but Robl seemed disgusted with his hand, so it's safe to say Kirk held the lead going to the river. Robl was allowed to squeeze out the river since he was behind, and he tossed the into the middle, a brick. Kirk won with aces and jacks.
"That was a terrible flip," Robl lamented. "I had like, no sweat."
