Kirichenko Cracks Khordbin's Set

Level 3 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko
Aleksandr Kirichenko

With two players seeing a board of A104 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: AQ All in
Hadi Khordbin: 1010

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.
