Aleksandr Kirichenko Eliminated in 4th Place ($140,000)
Boris Kolev raised to 2,000,000 on the button, and Aleksandr Kirichenko three-bet to 8,000,000 from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way, and Kolev made the call to see a flop.
The dealer spread 5♣Q♦10♦, and Kirichenko checked over to Kolev, who fired for 6,000,000. Kirichenko called.
The 3♦ hit the turn, and Kirichenko checked again. Kolev followed up with a second barrel worth 15,000,000, which was called once more.
On the 4♦ river, Kirichenko checked for a third time, and Kolev moved all in, putting Kirichenko to the test for his remaining 49,000,000. After using up all of his time bank cards, Kirichenko flicked in the call.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: J♦10♠ 
Boris Kolev: A♦J♥
Kirichenko had flopped top pair and rivered a jack-high flush, but it was no good. Kolev had rivered the nut flush and dragged the biggest pot of the tournament to soar into a massive chip lead.
Kirichenko was eliminated in fourth place, bringing the field down to the final three.
