Heads Up Analysis: Kostritsyn Shines Early

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

In the first dozen or so hands of heads up play, it's Alexander Kostritsyn who has done the most damage. He took a nice chunk of Seidel's stack on the first hand of heads up. Then, he woke up with Aces (and they held up despite only winning a small pot). The young Russian appears to be more than holding his own against the savvy veteran.
