Kostritsyn Crushing
Our new chip leader is the Russian superstar Alexander Kostritsyn after a huge hand just went down on his table. The hand was recalled to us by one of his tablemates.
A player raised under the gun to a rather hefty 8,200 and Alexander Kostritsyn made the call in the big blind.
The flop landed and Kostritsyn checked to his opponent who again overbet the pot for 30,000. Kostritsyn flat-called.
The turn was the and again Kostritsyn checked to his opponent who fired 30,000. This time, Kostritsyn responded with a check-raise to 100,000 before his opponent went all in. Kostritsyn made the call and opened for flopped two pair as his opponent showed pocket jacks for the overpair.
The river bricked the and Kostritsyn takes it down in a monster pot to jump to over 400,000!
