Hallay Cracks Kings to Leave Kirichenko With Crumbs
Level 19
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko opened to 160,000 in the hijack, Axel Hallay jammed all in for 1,500,000 in the cutoff, and Kirichenko called, slightly covering his opponent.
Axel Hallay: A♥K♦
Aleksandr Kirichenko: K♥K♣
Kirichenko's kings were ahead, but Hallay gained outs on the 8♥4♥10♥ flop. The 4♣ turn remained safe for Kirichenko, but the 2♥ river didn't. Hallay made the nut flush, and he doubled up as a result.
