Kostritsyn Looking Dangerous

Alexander Kostritsyn
Alexander Kostritsyn
Marc Fineman opened with a raise to 27,000 from the hijack position before Alexander Kostritsyn popped it up to 77,000 from the cutoff. The action folded around and Fineman made the call.

They took a flop of {7-Spades}{A-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Fineman led out with a bet of 125,000. Kostritsyn made the call.

The turn was the {10-Spades} and Fineman moved all of his stack into the middle. Kostritsyn snap-called with {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} for top set as Fineman found himself drawing dead with his {J-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

A meaningless {6-Spades} fell on the river to eliminate Fineman as Kostritsyn, who won the Aussie Millions earlier this year, is now looking dangerous with 1.45 million chips!
