Alexander Kostritsyn Eliminated

Ashish Gupta limped in from under the gun before Alexander Kostritsyn put in the raise. Constantine Harach called on the button as did Marcus in the big blind. Gupta came along for the ride and they saw a four-way flop of {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

.

Marcus led out with a bet and Gupta folded. Kostritsyn then moved all in for his last 2,000 and Harach folded. Marcus made the call.

Marcus: {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

Kostritsyn: {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{10-Clubs}

Marcus had flopped the straight and it held as the turn and river arrived {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

,

{5-Hearts}

. Marcus collects the pot to move to 24,000 and Kostritsyn experiences a rare moment in the Crown Poker Room - an elimination from a tournament!
