Alexander Kostritsyn Eliminated in 5th Place ($72,627)
Alexander Kostritsyn had just managed to double up when his kings held against Steve Landfish’s tens but Kostritsyn was soon all in again and at risk.
Kostritsyn:

Troy:

Kostritsyn was all in and ahead on fifth with a pair of kings against the queens of Maxwell Troy. Sixth didn’t improve either player but Troy hit the worst card that Kostritsyn could have asked for on seventh, the to give Troy trips. Kostritsyn was down to two outs for his tournament life, one of the two remaining kings. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t hit a king and was eliminated while Troy crossed the million chip mark.
