Aleksandr Kirichenko started heads up play by chipping away at Giorgiy Skhulukhiya and getting him down to just 1,950,000 chips.
Skhulukhiya was on the button and liked his hand enough to move all in. Kirichenko snap called.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: J♠7♠
Aleksandr Kirichenko: K♣Q♣
The 6♣9♣9♠ flop landed and Skhulukhiya was drawing slim. The blank 3♥ turn was no help but out of nowhere the J♥ river landed giving Skhulukhiya the best hand and life in this tournament.
