Kostritsyn Crushing

Alexander Kostritsyn, during Day 2b
Alexander Kostritsyn, during Day 2b

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 {6-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Kostritsyn checked to his opponent who again overbet the pot for 30,000. Kostritsyn flat-called.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} 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 {8-Spades}{6-Spades} for flopped two pair as his opponent showed pocket jacks for the overpair.

The river bricked the {K-Spades} and Kostritsyn takes it down in a monster pot to jump to over 400,000!
