Matthew Kirk Still Chipping Up

Matthew Kirk has been a bit of a ghost on the tournament scene of late preferring to stay away from the "donkaments" in favour of the big cash games.

He's in the field tonight and going ok, he just eliminated a player in an {A-Hearts}{k-Hearts} v {9-Clubs}{9-Spades} race.

The {3-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-Hearts} board favoured Kirk.

A few hands later he called a short-stack's all in with {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The all-in player looked good to double through with his {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades} until the board came {A-Spades}{q-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Clubs}.

Kirk now has 24,000.
