Kostritsyn Climbing

With over 100,000 in the middle and the board reading {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, Alexander Kostritsyn was heads up with an opponent. Kostritsyn's opponent checked, and Kostritsyn slid out a 108,000-chip bet. His opponent went into the tank, but eventually called.

Kostritsyn turned over {10-Spades}{8-Clubs} for the nut-straight and his opponent unhappily mucked. Kostritsyn is now up to 751,500 chips.
