Kirichenko Cracks Khordbin's Set
Level 3
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of A♠10♠4♣ in a four-bet pot and just over 55,000 in the middle, Hadi Khordbin checked from the small blind. Aleksandr Kirichenko, who preflop had four-bet from under the gun against Khordbin's three-bet, bet 16,500. Khordbin moved all in and Kirichenko, who had 46,500 behind and was covered, made the call.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: A♣Q♥ 
Hadi Khordbin: 10♦10♥
Kirichenko had flopped top pair but Khordbin was a massive favorite with middle set. Kirichenko picked up a gutshot on the K♠ and then made a Broadway straight on the J♦ river to double up through Khordbin.
