Aleksandr Kirichenko Eliminated in 2nd Place ($104,500)
Level 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.
