'Kenar' Smacks the River to End Kirichenko
Level 24
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
'Kenar' raised to 215,000 from under the gun, and Aleksandr Kirichenko jammed for 1,190,000 from the hijack. When the action got back to 'Kenar', he thought briefly, said, "Gamble, gamble", and put in the call for a small portion of his stack.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: K♣Q♣
'Kenar': Q♥J♦
With king-high, Kirichenko had 'Kenar' dominated, and he remained ahead on the A♣9♠4♦ flop and 6♠ turn.
However, a brutal J♥ rolled off on the river to give 'Kenar' the three-outer, sending Kirichenko to the rail.
