Aleksandr Kirichenko Eliminated in 4th Place ($58,500)
Level 29
: Blinds 75,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko moved all in for 1,715,000 from the small blind and was called by Maksim Shornikau in the big blind to put Kirichenko at risk.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: A?7?
Maksim Shornikau: K?6?
Kirichenko was ahead preflop but Shornikau took the lead with a pair of kings on the K?4?3? flop. He remained ahead on the J? turn and 3? river to send Kirichenko to the rail and deny his quest to avenge his runner up finish at the last Merit Poker $5,300 High Roller event from the Gangster Series this past October.
