Kirichenko Puts Al-Kubasi to the Test
Level 23
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Ali Al-Kubasi raised the button to 800,000 with only Aleksandr Kirichenko calling from the small blind.
On the 9♥8♦10♦ flop, Kirichenko check-called a bet of 1,100,000 from Al-Kubasi.
Both players checked the 4♣ turn to see the 4♦ hit the river. Kirichenko led out for 675,000 and was met by a raise to 3,600,000 by Al-Kubasi. Kirichenko looked over at Al-Kubasi's remaining 20,000,000 and announced all in. Al-Kubasi didn't take long to fold his cards and Kirichenko flipped over A♦9♠ for just a pair of nines.
