Kirichenko Gets Some Back
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Justus Held opened to 40,000 from the hijack and Aleksandr Kirichenko called from the cutoff.
The flop came A♣Q♣3♥. Held fired a 35,000 continuation bet and Kirichenko made the call.
Held slowed down with a check on the 8♥ turn and Kirichenko bet 115,000 which was enough to force a fold from his opponent.
Despite the minor setback, Held has been doing an excellent job leveraging his stack on the bubble and is currently the only player above 3,000,000 chips.
