Aleksandr Gorichev

Aleksandr Gorichev was among the first two players registered but once he got short, never got anything running thereafter. Having swapped tables once, he eventually jammed a short stack and was called by John Riad.

Aleksandr Gorichev: A ♥️ 2 ♦️

John Riad: 9s: 9 ♣️

The pocket pair dodged the aces and a wheel draw on the Q ♣️ 5 ♦️ 4 ♥️ K ♦️ 4 ♦️ board to send Gorichev to the rail.
