Kostritsyn Doubles Through Alaei

Razz

Alexander Kostritsyn has found a much needed double up through Daniel Alaei in a recent hand of Razz. The action was re-raised on third street, before Kostritsyn took control and fired bets on every street until he was all in on sixth. Alaei made him earn it and called him down. The boards ran out as follows:

Alaei: ({3-}{4-}) {A-}{Q-}{Q-}{8-} ({4-})
Kostritsyn: ({5-}{8-}) {A-}{7-}{2-}{9-} ({5-})

Alaei double-paired to leave himself with just a queen-low as Kostritsyn's eighty-seven was good to double up to 500,000. Alaei slips back to 820,000.
