Kirk KOs Opponent, Extends Lead

[user196975]

Mike Pilla opened the action with a raise in late position. There was a bit of a question though as to how much. He verbally declared raise and three T1,000 chips went out first, followed by a T5,000 chip. The dealer informed him that he had string bet and only the 3,000 would stand.

Action passed to Tripp Kirk in the small blind and he did Pilla's work for him by re-raising to 5,200. Pilla moved all in and Kirk quickly called.

Kirk: {8-Spades} {8-Diamonds}
Pilla: {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}
