The Wrong Turn (for Zaichenko)

At Table #5, Gabriel Costner raised to 6,000 from under the gun, and it folded back around to Andrey Zaichenko who called from the big blind.

The flop came {Q-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}. Zaichenko checked, Costner bet 9,000, Zaichenko reraised to 24,000, and Coster then pushed all in for about 50,000 total. Zaichenko called, showing {8-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for two pair. Costner showed {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and needed some help.

The turn brought said help, in the form of the {6-Clubs}, giving Costner trips. The river was the {5-Hearts}, and Costner is now up to 111,000. Meanwhile Zaichenko is down to 52,000.
