Kostritsyn Represents Rockets, But Rolled Out The Door By Pham

Alexander Kostritsyn Eliminated
Alexander Kostritsyn Eliminated
We didn't catch the preflop betting action, but from all reports it was a pretty intense series of raises between Alexander Kostritsyn and David Pham which led to Kostritsyn moving all in and Pham considering a fold with his {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}.

"You have aces?" quizzed Pham of his opponent. He eventually made the call and Kostritsyn could only muster up {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}.

The board fell {10-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts} and Pham eliminates the Russian superstar to jump up to 190,000 and take his place near the very top of the chip count leaderboard.
