Not the way Aussie Matt Expected to Win


Matthew Kirk opened for $3,000 and Bob Bright and Jean-Robert Bellande called from the small and big blind respectively. Bright then led out for $7,000 on the flop, Bellande folded, and Kirk raised to $20,000. Bright made the call and then check-called a bet of $30,000 on the
turn.
When the completed the board on the river, Bright checked for a second time but still called when Kirk tossed out two cranberry chips for a bet of $50,000. Kirk tabled the
for a missed flush that had turned into two pair, and it was good enough to win as Bright mucked.
Kirk has worked his stack up to $319,000.
