Early Knockout for Kirk

After some betting with an opponent, Matthew Kirk moved all in on the flop of {4-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} {2-Spades}. His opponent made the call with {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds}. Kirk held two cowboys -- {K-Hearts} {K-Spades}.

The turn was the {4-Spades} and the river the {2-Diamonds}, fading Kirk of an ace or the straight draw that his opponent needed. Kirk eliminated his opponent and increased to 38,000 chips.
