Kirby Sends Opponent to the Rail With Rockets

Level 7 : 400/800, 800 ante

After the under-the-gun player limped-in, Matt Kirby raised to 3,500 from late position and the hijack player called.

Once the {q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} flop hit the felt, Kirby continued for 3,000 and then called his opponents 13,000 all in raise.

Matt Kirby: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Opponent: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Kirby was still in the lead after his opponent flopped top-pair but the {9-Diamonds} turn made things interesting as it brought chop-outs if another diamond were to fall on the river.

The sweat was on until the {9-Spades} completed the board on the river and secured Kirby the pot.
