Kolev Calls Down Kirichenko With Ace-High
Level 23
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Boris Kolev raised to 260,000 from the small blind, and Aleksandr Kirichenko called from the big blind.
The flop came 5♦2♥Q♠, and Kolev continued for 175,000. Kirichenko raised to 450,000, and Kolev made the call.
The 4♣ landed on the turn, and Kirichenko kept up the pressure with a bet of 650,000. Kolev was going nowhere and called once again.
Both players checked the 9♦ river, and Kirichenko tabled J♠6♠ for jack-high. Kolev revealed A♦K♥ for ace-high, which was good enough to scoop the sizable pot.
