Aleksandr Kirichenko Eliminated in 2nd Place ($104,500)
Niveau 29
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Aleksandr Kirichenko moved all in from the button for his last 1,800,000 after a few orbits of Giorgiy Skhulukhiya laying down the hammer and accumulating chips.
Skhulukhiya tanked for a moment then called off to put Kirichenko at risk.
Aleksandr Kirichenko: A♦8♥
Giorgiy Skhulukhiyam: K♠7♦
No sweat for Skhulukhiyam who hit top pair on the 4♦K♥J♣ board. The 5♠ turn and 7♣ river would not bring the help that Kirichenko needed and Skhulukhiyam sent Kirichenko to the rail to officially be crowned the Merit Poker $5,300 High Roller champion for $149,200.
Full Recap coming soon.
