Alex Kostritsyn - Eliminated

Hold'em:

Action folded around to Scotty Nguyen on the button and he raised. Alex Kostritsyn flat-called from the big blind and the two took a flop heads up.

The flop came {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{3-Spades}

and Kostritsyn bet all in. Nguyen made the call and the players showed:

Nguyen: {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

Kostritsyn: {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

Kostritsyn was in good shape to double up when the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

hit the turn. But the cruel river brought a {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

and took his hand from first to worst. Nguyen's aces were best and Alex Kostritsyn was eliminated.

Nguyen climbs to 700,000 on the hand.
