What a Game
Level 20
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Felipe Ketzer open-shoved from the button, covering both players in the blinds. Fabian Schmidt called all in from the small blind before Aleksandr Kirichenko also called for his tournament life from the big blind.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: J♠J♦
Fabian Schmidt: 9♥9♦
Felipe Ketzer: J♣3♣
Kirichenko was in a commanding position with pocket jacks, and the 8♥A♣Q♣ flop kept him ahead, although Ketzer picked up a flush draw.
The Q♠ turn changed nothing, and the K♠ river secured the pot for Kirichenko with two pair. Kirichenko scored a triple-up through Ketzer and Schmidt, and Schmidt won a small side pot.
