Kichigin Surives, Peisert Avoids Trouble

Vladimir Kichigin just shoved his entire stack of 38,100 all in from under the gun, and the table folded to Lucasz Plichta who called from the cutoff. "Miami" John Cernuto folded from the button, and Jorg Peisert -- sitting in the small blind -- appeared miserable.

"Oh my God," said Peisert. "I would've snap-called if you hadn't called," he said, pointing to Plichta. Finally he folded, as did the big blind.

Kichigin showed {A-Hearts}

and Plichta {A-Spades}

. The board came {4-Spades}

, and the pair split the pot. Peisert was clearly relieved once he saw that ace on the river, as he apparently folded a big pair.

"I made that mistake with tens yesterday," said Cernuto to Peisert. "You saved 38K."

Plichta remains at about 190,000, and Kichigin got his 38,000 back. Peisert has 70,000.
