Kirichenko's Fortunate Cooler Before Dinner
A player just reported a huge hand that happened before the dinner break that resulted in a double knockout.
According to the them, Hala Karam shoved all in for just 100,000 from early position before Aleksandr Kirichenko raised to isolate them. Aleksandr Chernikov three-bet, and Kirichenko four-bet. After some more raising back and forth, all the chips got into the middle in a pot of around 7,000,000 with Chernikov and Karam being at risk.
Hala Karam: 8♣5♣ 
Aleksandr Chernikov: K♠K♣
Aleksandr Kirichenko: A♦A♥
Chernikov had found himself on the unfortunate end of a cooler and needed some help from the dealer to stay in the tournament. The flop came 10♠2♠A♣, which gave Kirichenko top set and left Chernikov and Karam virtually drawing dead. The 2♥ turn cemented the double elimination as Kirichenko improved to a boat. An inconsequential 10♥ landed on the river and Kirichenko pulled in a huge pot whilst Chernikov and Karam were out.
