Kost-ly River

Alexander Kostritsyn made it 9,000 to go from late position and was called by the player in the cutoff. The flop fell {J-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {K-Clubs} and Alexander checked. His opponent bet out 30,000 and Alexander moved in enough chips to place his opponent all in.

His opponent called and showed {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} for top pair, while Alexander turned over {J-Spades} {10-Spades} for mid pair and a gutshot. The {A-Clubs} on the turn was of no help, but the {Q-Diamonds} on the river completed his straight and eliminated his opponent. After the hand, Alexander is back up to 470,000.
