FullFlush Turns Up the Pressure

The cutoff opened for 900, and on the button, Alexander Kostritsyn reraised to just under 3,000. Luke "FullFlush" Schwartz then four-bet from the big blind, making it 6,000 total. The cutoff quickly folded, and Kostritsyn made the call.

Flop: {A-Spades}

- Schwartz checked, and Kostritsyn checked behind.

Turn: {3-Clubs}

- Schwartz bet 6,350, and Kostritsyn called.

River: {2-Clubs}

- Not messing around, FullFlush moved all in. When Alex asked for a count, Luke picked up his hands so he could see the chips but didn't bother to put down the larger value chips he was holding in his hand. Kostritsyn asked again for a count, and the dealer started to break down the stacks. She finished what she could, but Schwartz still didn't stop shuffling a handful of rainbow chips. The dealer had to raise her voice and insist he let go of them so she could provide an accurate count. Finally he did, and she determined (after checking with Jonathan Aguiar to make sure she was correct) that Schwartz has 25,925.

The information sent Kostritsyn deep into the tank. After four minutes, Schwartz called the clock, but as soon as the floor arrived, Alex gave up his hand, sending the pot to Luke. Kostritsyn still has around 36,000.
