Kirichenko Gets One Through
Level 6
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko had lost the bulk of his 200,000-chip starting stack but managed to get some back in a hand against Daniel Vellender.
The board read 7♠9♣2♥2♦ and with around 25,000 in the middle, both players put in 20,000 to see the J♣ hit the river. Kirichenko was first to act and led with a shove for 64,000 Vellender then used some time to think it over but eventually decided to fold, allowing Kirichenko to grow his stack.
