Aleksandr Kirichenko Eliminated in 4th Place ($58,500)
Level 29
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko moved all in for 1,715,000 from the small blind and was called by Maksim Shornikau in the big blind to put Kirichenko at risk.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: A♥7♣
Maksim Shornikau: K♣6♥
Kirichenko was ahead preflop but Shornikau took the lead with a pair of kings on the K♦4♦3♣ flop. He remained ahead on the J♥ turn and 3♦ river to send Kirichenko to the rail and deny his quest to avenge his runner up finish at the last Merit Poker $5,300 High Roller event from the Gangster Series this past October.
