Kirichenko Puts in an Early Squeeze
Level 1
: 200/500, 500 ante
There was cutoff open to 1,200 before the button called and the small blind folded. The action was then on the runner-up from the 2023 Merit Poker Gangster Series $5,300 High Roller, Aleksandr Kirichenko, in the big blind.
He took a moment and then put in a large three-bet to 5,600.
Both of his opponents sat in the tank for a moment before they eventually released their hand. Kirichenko dragged a small pot early to move in the right direction on Day 1.
