Tekel Makes Kirichenko Fold the River
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko opened from middle position to 12,000 and Andrej Tekel squeezed from the hijack to 36,000. When the action got back on Kirichenko, he called.
They saw a flop of 8♠7♠7♥ where Kirichenko check-called a bet of 60,000 from Tekel to the J♣ turn, which went check-check.
On the A♥ river, Kirichenko tapped the table and Tekel grabbed a handful of chips and bet 90,000. Kirichenko went into thought for around a minute before he ultimately decided on a fold.
