Kirby Closing in on 10 Million
Matt Kirby has been pulling in pots since returning to dinner. They're not overly huge, but with the blinds so high, he is successfully extending his chip lead.
In a recent hand, Kirby opened for 200,000 and Jeff Fielder defended from the big blind. The latter then checked the 
flop and Kirby continued for 250,000. Fielder sprung to life with a check-raise to 625,000, but he was quickly silenced when Kirby three-bet to 1.25 million. Fielder folded and Kirby was pushed the pot, increasing his stack to nearly 10 million.
