Kirichenko's Stack Hits Zero

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko
Aleksandr Kirichenko

With around 30,000 chips in the pot on a board of 6♠2♥4♣10♥, Serge Ward in the big blind checked it over to Aleksandr Kirichenko in the under-the-gun position, who bet 8,500. Ward then check-raised to 26,000, and Kirichenko called.

They saw the 2♠ drop on the river and Ward fired out a bigger bet of 40,500. Kirichenko went into the tank and took a lot of time to think it over before he eventually called.

Ward then showed a boat with 10♣2♣, and Kirichenko shook his head and mucked. With just 10,000 chips remaining after the hand, Kirichenko lost the rest of them to Daniyar Aubakirov in the next hand.
