Four Fades for Kirk
Scott Seiver raised to $4,000 in the cutoff, and Paul Newey made it $11,000 in the small blind. Doug Polk called from his left, and Matthew Kirk came along from the straddle. Seiver called as well, making it four to an flop. Polk bet $28,000 after Newey checked, and both Kirk and Polk called. The pot had now ballooned to about $130,000, and Polk decided to just jam for $277,000 on the turn. Kirk called right away for his last $94,000, and Seiver tanked awhile and folded.
