Kirichenko Comes Up Empty Against Sotiropoulos
Level 4
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko raised to 13,000 in early position, making the call after Georgios Sotiropoulos three-bet to 42,000 in the hijack.
Kirichenko checked the 10♦2♦J♣ flop, and Sotiropoulos continued for 75,000. Kirichenko took some time before tossing out a raise to 175,000.
Sotiropoulos answered by moving all in, and Kirichenko made the call.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: K♦J♦ 
Georgios Sotiropoulos: Q♠Q♥
Kirichenko's pair and diamond draw missed the 10♣ turn and 10♠ river, as Sotiropoulos improved to a full house. The stacks were counted, and Kirichenko was covered by less than 20,000 chips to confirm his elimination.
