Hrabec Battles Kirichenko
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko opened to 10,000 from middle position and Roman Hrabec three-bet to 30,000 from the hijack. Kirichenko made the call.
The flop came J♣3♥2♦ and Kirichenko check-called a 20,000 continuation bet from Hrabec.
Both players checked the 2♠ turn leading to the Q♥ river. Kirichenko checked once more, Hrabec bet 60,000 and Kirichenko put in a check-raise to 210,000. Hrabec opted to fold and Kirichenko took down a nice pot without showdown.
