Kirichenko Puts a Massive Cooler on Wang in Four-Way All In

Level 4 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Nikolay Fal three-bet to 16,200 from the big blind and was called by Alexander Kirichenko in the hijack and cutoff Jing Wang. Mert Tozlu then moved all in for 24,000 from the button and all three opponents called.

The flop came K?8?9? and Kirichenko bet 64,000. Wang then moved all in, Fal folded, while Kirichenko snap-called for 106,000.

Mert Tozlu: 6?4?
Alexander Kirichenko: 9?9?
Jing Wang: 8?8?

Kirichenko was far ahead with his set of nines against Wang's set of eights. The rest of the board came 10?5? and Tozlu was sent to the rail, while Kirichenko doubled off Wang thanks to the set-over-set cooler.
