Kirichenko Survives With jacks
Level 18
: Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
With 395,000 already in the middle on the 6♠Q♣9♣ flop, Aleksandr Kirichenko bet 25,000 from middle position, committing half of his remaining stack. Dmitrii Kravchenko moved all in, and Kirichenko went into the tank.
After waiting long enough to secure a pay jump, Kirichenko eventually made the call for his last few chips.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: J♥J♦
Dmitrii Kravchenko: A♠K♠
Kirichenko's jacks were ahead of Kravchenko's overcards, but Kravchenko picked up additional outs when the Q♠ turn gave him a flush draw.
However, the 10♦ river was a brick, and Kirichenko doubled through Kravchenko.
