Marsha Waggoner

Alexander Kostritsyn tried to bulldoze his way through a hand with Marsha Waggoner. He raised preflop, and then led the betting on every street of a board that came {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{J-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

{3-Hearts}

. The jig was up when Waggoner called Kostritsyn's river bet.

"Ace high," announced a beaten Kostritsyn. Waggoner showed down {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

to collect the pot with a full house, kings full of threes.

"Nice try," remarked Van Marcus wryly. "If you were able to make her fold kings full I'd be impressed."

Waggoner is up to 28,000 in chips. Kostritsyn is still in the hunt with 16,000.
