Kirichenko Gets Zhu to Fold
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
There were already around 200,000 chips in the pot on a board of 6♣Q♠8♥J♥ when Aleksandr Kirichenko fired out a bet of 100,000 from under the gun. Jingxuan Zhu was in the hijack and called.
A Q♣ paired the board on the river and Kirichenko kept firing, this time for a bigger size of 290,000. Zhu went into the tank for quite some time but eventually settled on a fold, which allowed Kirichenko's stack to grow to around 1,350,000.
