Kings No Good for Kirby

Chad Holloway

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

MSPT Team Pro Matt Kirby opened for 525 from early position and picked up a caller in the cutoff. The player on the button then three-bet to 3,100, both blinds folded, and Kirby four-bet to 9,000. The cutoff folded, the button called, and it was heads-up action to the flop.

Kirby led out for 6,500, his opponent raised to 15,000, and Kirby three-bet all in. The button called off for 20,800 total and the cards were turned up.

Kirby:
Opponent:

Kirby was ahead, but his opponent held a spade draw plus an ace. The turn was of no consequence, but the river was. Kirby simply shook his head as he paid out his opponent.
