Kirichenko Wins it With a Small River Bet
Level 17
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Ali Al-Kubasi made it 225,000 to go from the hijack and Aleksandr Kirichenko three-bet to 1,025,000 from the big blind. Al-Kubasi called to see a flop.
Kirichenko bet 750,000 on the 5♣4♠J♣ flop and was met by a raise to 2,100,000 from Al-Kubasi. Kirichenko called.
The 10♥ turn checked through for the 8♣ to land on the river. Kirichenko now bet out for 1,100,00, causing Al-Kubasi to go into the tank. After burning through a time extension card, Al-Kubasi folded and the pot was sent to Kirichenko.
