Alexander Kostritsyn - Eliminated

It was an up-and-down day for Alexander Kostritsyn, though the deck dealt him more of the latter than the former. On his final hand he opened for 65,000 and Garrett Beckman called on the button. The flop came {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

and when Kostritsyn checked, Beckman bet 90,000. Alex counted out his chips, arrived at 395,000, and moved all in.

Beckman spent about four minutes chewing it over before making the call, and found that his {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

{7-Diamonds}

were ahead of Kostritsyn's {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Clubs}

. Beckman still had to sweat the turn and river but when the came {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

he took down the pot. Kostritsyn shook everyone's hand, wished them all good luck, and walked away from the table.
