Kirichenko's Set Gets Paid Off

Level 5 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante

Cheng Zhao had a raise of 28,500 in front of him from the cutoff as Alexander Kirichenko called in the big blind.

Both players checked to the river on a board of JQA105 when Kirichenko led out for 21,000. Zhao tanked for a minute before the clock was called. He eventually tossed in the chips to call and Kirichenko slammed down QQ for a set of queens to win the pot.
