Ly Surviving; Kostritsyn Bets Out Of Turn Again

[user67765]

Minh Ly had called the bets of Alexander Kostritsyn through until 5th street. Ly held {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

and Kostritsyn showed {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

but before 6th street was dealt Kostritsyn fired out a bet.

Ly then caught a {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

to pair up as Kostritsyn found the {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

. Ly's pair was the best hand so he was first to act, resulting in Kostritsyn's bet being a bet out of turn - his second time on this final table.

Ly decided to bet out which meant that Kostritsyn was given the option to take back his bet since the action in front of him had changed. After some discussion with the tournament director and other players Kostritsyn laid down his hand, to give Ly the pot as he moves to about 275,000 chips.
