10/30/12 - Kirk Charles

Game two began with 18 players and by the break we were down to 9. Just as the final table was forming, Dave Lee went out and so the final table began with seven players. The final eight were Dave Lee, Heather Rein, Mike Breem, Claw Kelsay, Jacob Sawyer, William Darkow, Michael Lam, and Kirk Charles. Kirk Charles goes all in with King seven and is called by two players. He wins with king high and triples up. A few hands later Kirk goes all in with queens and is called by new player Mike Breem. Kirk wins the hand with a full house and takes out Breem. Claw Kelsay goes all in with king two against William Darkow with ace ten, the board gets two aces and William wins with trip aces. In a show down with Darkow who has queen ten of diamonds, Michael Lam had ace king of diamonds and wins the hand with ace high. Michael Lam took out Jacob Sawyer when Lam had ace jack and Sawyer had ace king, but Lam's jacks paired. Kirk goes all in with a pair of aces and is called by Lam with eight jack. The flop comes ten, jack, nine, and the turn is a queen giving Lam the queen high straight, but the river card was a king and gave Charles the higher straight and the win. Because both Charles and Lam have already qualified for the championship, William Darkow wins a seat, but Kirk wins an additional chip stack.
