Zhu Puts Kirichenko to the Test
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko opened to 6,500 from the hijack and Nan Zhu three-bet to 18,00 from the cutoff. Kirichenko made the call.
The flop came Q♦6♦5♣. Kirichenko checked, Zhu bet 15,000 and Kirichenko check-raised to 43,000. Zhu very quickly moved all in, covering Kirichenko who had slightly over 100,000 to start the hand. Kirichenko opted to fold and Zhu took down a nice pot without showdown.
