Kostner Comes From Behind to Survive as Bartos Tumbles Down Leaderboard
Level 21
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
In a four-way limped pot, the flop came 8♣7♥8♥ where Stefan Kostner checked from the small blind and Martin Bartos bet 20,000 from the big blind. Ivan Nikolov folded, Sebastian Langrock called, then Kostner made it 80,000. Bartos then potted it, Langrock folded, Kostner shoved, and Bartos called.
Stefan Kostner: K♣Q♣Q♦8♠ 
Martin Bartos: A♦K♠9♥8♦
Kostner was at risk and behind as his trip eights were outkicked by Bartos. A 7♠ on the turn changed nothing but the 7♣ river improved Kostner to a full house and saw him snatch the pot away at the last possible moment.
