Block Busts

Alexander Kostritsyn opened the button with a raise only to have Keith Block move all in.

Kostritsyn made the call tabling his {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} to be in a race against Block's {K-Spades}{q-Clubs}.

The board ran out {5-Spades}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} to see Block eliminated for a $17,987 payday as Kostritsyn makes it through to the final sixteen.

Queens Eliminate Saul, Mahmood Moves On

Ayaz Mahmood opened with a raise to 15,000, and Kevin Saul moved all in for 120,000 total. Snap-call, and cards up:

Mahmood: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Saul: {A-Clubs} {9-Hearts}

Board: {8-Clubs} {4-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {3-Spades}

That's no help to Saul, and he's been eliminated here in the fourth round. Ayaz Mahmood is moving on to tonight's fifth round where he'll face Brian Rast for a spot in the Elite Eight.

Block Moves Up a Peg

Alexander Kostritsyn opened to 6,000, and Keith Block reraised to 15,000 total. Kostritsyn called.

The flop came out {J-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {J-Spades}, and Kostritsyn check-called a bet of 18,000. That brought them to the {3-Hearts} turn, and both players checked.

The river {8-Spades} filled out the board, and Kostritsyn took the betting lead with a 50,000-chip wager. Block didn't waste much time calling, turning up {Q-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds}. It was good; Kostritsyn mucked his way down to 199,000. That gives Block the other 281,000 on the table.
