Alexander Kostritsyn Chipping Up

Alexander Kostritsyn just took back to back pots. First on a flop of {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {6-Spades}, a player in middle position bet out 5,100 into a 10,000 pot. Kostritsyn then raised to 20,000 and his opponent folded. At this point Kostritsyn was up to 54,000.

The very next hand, a player moved all in against Kostritsyn and Kostritsyn made the call. Kostritsyn held {9-Clubs} {9-Diamonds} and his opponent held {A-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}. The board ran out {6-Spades} {3-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {2-Diamonds} and after the hand, Kostritsyn moved up to 73,000 in chips.
