Passive Play Punished

In a hand with multiple players in the pot, Alex Kostritsyn sat patiently in the big blind as everyone in the hand checked both the flop and the turn. With the board reading {5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{8-Hearts} Kostritsyn fired out 120,000 and chased everyone out of the pot, including Eli Elezra and Ted Lawson (who only had 50,000 behind). Kostritsyn now sits with 470,000.
