Kostritsyn Recovers

Alexander Kostritsyn on Day 3
Alexander Kostritsyn on Day 3
Alexander Kostritsyn opened with a preflop raise to 25,000 and Jeremy Joseph flat-called on the button. Ed Aister then reraised to 60,000 from the big blind with both opponents making the call.

They took a flop of {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} and Aister checked to Kostritsyn who fired 102,000 into the middle. Jospeh called and Aister let it go.

The turn {J-Hearts} and river {2-Hearts} was checked through with Kostritsyn showing down {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs} to take down the pot and move to over 900,000 chips.
