Bubble Bursts in First Orbit of Hand for Hand Play

Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a board of J?10?9? Kully Sidhu checked from the big blind to Aleksandr Kirichenko who was under the gun. He put out a continuation bet of 45,000 and was promptly check-raised by Sidhu to 325,000 only leaving himself 75,000 behind.
Kirichenko shrugged, checked his cards, and moved all in. Sidhu called and the cards hit their backs.
Kully Sidhu: K?J?
Aleksandr Kirichenko: J?9?
The 8? turn and 4? river would not bring the help that Sidhu needed and he would be the official bubble boy.
All players are now in the money.
