Alexander Kostritsyn

Alexander Kostritsyn got the better of Jason Mercier tonight.

After a flop of {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

, Mercier was all in for his remaining chips.

The hands were:

Mercier: {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{K-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

for the overpair.
Kostritsyn: {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

{3-Diamonds}

for bottom set.

The turn and river did not help Mercier, as he hit the rail.

Alexander Kostritsyn now has nearly 180,000 in chips.
