Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Maksim Shornikau opened to 100,000 from the small blind and Aleksandr Kirichenko defended from the big blind.
Shornikau fired a 50,000 continuation bet on the Q♠5♥2♣ flop that was called by Kirichenko.
On the 8♣ turn Shornikau bet again for 135,000 and once again Kirichenko made the call.
The river was the 3♥. Shornikau checked, Kirichenko bet 185,000 and Shornikau nearly beat him into the pot.
Kirichenko could only show 10♣9♣ for a missed draw turned into a bluff while Shornikau turned over Q♥10♥ for top pair to take the pot.
