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.
