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.

Daniel Vellender made it 11,000 to go from middle position and got called by Tobias Peters in the cutoff, the button, and Aleksandr Kirichenko in the big blind.
All four checked the K♦3♦9♣ flop to the 5♠ turn, where Kirichenko led out for 11,500. One by one, all of his opponents folded, allowing Kirichenko to take down another pot.
