Kostritsyn Headed the Wrong Way

Alexander Kostritsyn has found the going pretty tough early in Day 5. He took a flop of {J-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {J-Clubs} in a raised pot against Pontus Khosravi. The two players engaged in a game of chicken with Khosravi all in for 317,000 and Kostritsyn making the call.

Khosravi: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}
Kostritsyn: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}

Kostritsyn couldn't overtake Khosravi when the board ran out {10-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}. He is down to 420,000 after starting the day with over 1.1 million. Khosravi climbs to 670,000.
