Lisichkina Takes Chip Lead

Level 22 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Yulia Lisichkina
Yulia Lisichkina

Action was picked up on the river in a pot with roughly 500,000 chips in the middle between Yulia Lisichkina and an opponent, after Lisichkina check-called every street of betting prior.

The board read {3-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{8-Spades} and after checking the river, her opponent moved all-in for 1,250,000 chips. After getting a count and thinking for about 40 seconds, she called.

Opponent: {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Yulia Lisichkina: {k-Spades}{6-Spades}

The opponent had missed a straight draw and it was Lisichkina's kings and sixes that were good for the pot as she vaulted into the overall tournament chip lead.
