Kirichenko Triples Up With a Set of Queens
Level 19
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Felipe Ketzer raised to 100,000 from middle position before Aleksandr Kirichenko moved all in for 220,000 from the small blind. Boris Kolev called from the big blind, and Ketzer also made the call.
The flop came Q♠6♦7♣, and Ketzer bet 65,000 into the side pot. Kolev called.
The 2♦ landed on the turn, and Ketzer continued for 205,000. Kolev called once again before both players checked the J♣ river.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: Q♣Q♦
Felipe Ketzer: 5♦5♣
Boris Kolev: 10♠7♠
Kirichenko had flopped top set with his pocket queens and comfortably scooped the main pot to secure the triple-up, while Kolev's pair of sevens was good enough to take the side pot from Ketzer.
