Matt Kirby just got his last few thousand in preflop and was called by two opponents. A {5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop led to another player getting it all in for about 3,000, and the player on the button put him at risk.

Kirby: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Button: {9-}{9-}
Small blind: {k-}{10-}

The turn brought an {a-Clubs} for Kirby, but the small blind hit trips on the {10-Hearts} river to take the whole pot.

Kirby said he lost the majority of his stack when he flopped bottom two with {3-Spades}{2-Spades} and was counterfeited on the turn after getting it in against a higher pair. He immediately reentered after busting.
