Alexander Kostritsyn Doubles Up

Alexander Kostritsyn from Day 4
Alexander Kostritsyn from Day 4
Before the flop Brent Sheirbon raised to 37,000 from under the gun and Alexander Kostritsyn reraised to 100,000. Sheirbon made the call and when the flop came {4-Spades} {3-Spades} {6-Clubs} Sheirbon immediately moved all in.

Kostritsyn looked at the dealer and to make sure he'd heard correctly asked, "Is he all in?" The dealer confirmed that fact and Alex announced that he called, showing {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades} to Sheribon's {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}. The board ran out {8-Spades} {2-Hearts} and after taking some hits earlier in the day Kostritsyn doubled up.
