Kostritsyn Picks Up Big Pot

We arrived to Alexander Kostritsyn's table to see a flop of {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{10-Hearts}. The player in the hijack checked to Kostritsyn in the button. Kostritsyn bet 15,000 and the hijack raised to 31,400, getting a call from Kostritsyn.

The turn was the {9-Clubs} and Kostritsyn called a bet of 44,700 bringing the {j-Clubs} on the river, which both players checked.

Kostritsyn showed {q-Hearts}{j-Spades} which was better than his opponent's {7-}{6-}, sending Kostritsyn's chip count to 625,000.
