Kirsch Cracks Duong's Rockets

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Adam Duong raised to 27,000 from the hijack and was called by Daniel Kirsch on the cutoff as well as the player in the big blind. The flop came {5-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and the big blind checked to Duong, who fired a continuation-bet of 67,000.

Kirsch called, or so he thought. In actuality, he put out around 107,000 and the floor was called. The ruling was such that since he had put out a bet in excess of 150 percent of the original bet, he was required to make a minimum raise of 134,000. The big blind got out of the way and Duong quickly moved all in effectively for Kirsch's total remaining stack of around 450,000.

Kirsch thought for a bit and ultimately committed the remainder of his chips

Adam Duong: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Daniel Kirsch: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

Kirsch was down to two cards in his tournament life. That total was halved when the turn {3-Diamonds} fell. The river came {q-Clubs}, keeping him alive via a four outer as he now finds himself with a stack of around one million in play.
