Alexander Kostritsyn and Reagan Silber were at it again. When we caught up to them, the board showed {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

. Silber checked to Kostritsyn, who bet 75,000, then check-raised all in for a shade over 600,000. Kostritsyn thought it over, then said, "I call."

Kostritsyn: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

Silber:

{K-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

It was Silber's Broadway straight against Kostritsyn's set of aces. Kostritsyn needed a board pair to send Silber to the rail, but he didn't get it when the river fell {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

.

Kostritsyn had previously chipped up, but that pot knocked him back to about 1.7 million. Silber is up to 1.3 million.
