Two Streets of Value for Shornikau

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Maksim Shornikau opened to 125,000 from early position with A5 and Aleksandr Kirichenko defended from the big blind with J6.

Both players connected with the AJ3 flop. Kirichenko check-called a 70,000 continuation bet from Shornikau.

On the 7 turn Shornikau bet 275,000. Once again Kirichenko called.

The river was the 9. Shornikau's ace was good at showdown and he took down a nice pot, extending his lead over the rest of the field in the process.
