Two Pairs For Kirichenko
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko opened from early position, and everyone else folded except for Toni Kaukua in the big blind, who called.
After the dealer revealed a flop of 5♠2♥6♣, Kirichenko placed a continuation bet of 8,000, and Kaukua chose to check-call.
On the turn K♣, Kaukua check-called once again, this time after Kirichenko bet 30,000.
As the J♦ appeared on the river, Kirichenko launched a third barrel worth 90,000 chips. Kaukua took a few seconds,and then decided to call. However, he mucked his cards when Kirichenko showed K♥6♥ for two pairs.
