Kirby Wins Battle of Rags

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante

Matt Kirby opened for 1,700 under the gun, and three players called before the big blind shoved for 6,800 more. Kirby shipped over the top, and everyone else folded.

Kirby: {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Big blind: {7-Spades}{4-Spades}

"Well, that's a bad flop for me," the big blind said after the dealer fanned out {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}. "Can't even hit my seven."

Indeed, Kirby's nine-high with a flush draw and straight draw was miles ahead, and the nine proved good enough when the last two cards were {k-Diamonds} and {5-Diamonds}.
