The player on the button was first into the pot, and he raised it up to 15,000. Next was Alex Kostritsyn in the small blind, and he reraised to 55,000. The big blind, not to be outdone, moved all in for 275,000, enough to scare away the button. Kostritsyn was not so easily deterred though, with good reason. He had his man covered, and he snap-called, showing {A-?}

{A-?}

{A-?}

. The big blind couldn't believe his luck, as he turned over the second-best, {K-?}

{K-?}

{K-?}

.

An ace spiked right on the flop, and Kostritsyn claimed a victim. With that big pot, he has vaulted up to 840,000 in chips.
