Kostritsyn Doesn't Quite Make It
Mizrachi: / /
Kostritsyn: / / (X)
Alex Kostritsyn was all in earlier in the level, surviving with trip eights. He found himself all in again, on third street, against Michael Mizrachi and this time Kostritsyn failed to make it to the next hand. Mizrachi started with buried nines against Kostritsyn's ace-high, and buried nines were enough to drag the pot.
With Kostritsyn's elimination, the remaining three tables are playing hand-for-hand until the next elimination. This is the money bubble!
