Guo Gets Some Value

Level 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Jia Guo opened to 1,400 from the hijack and Aleksandr Kirichenko defended from the big blind.

The flop came K♠8♥4♦ and Kirichenko check-called a 1,400 continuation bet from Guo.

Both players checked the 6♥ turn leading to the 7♣ river. Kirichenko bet 6,500 and Guo snap-called.

Kirichenko could only show A♣4♠ for a pair of fours while Guo tabled A♥A♦ for a pair of aces to take the pot.
