Alexander Kostritsyn Eliminated

A player in the cut off opened the pot for a raise and the button reraised 5,500 more. Alexander Kostritsyn repotted from the big blind. The cut off then moved all in.

The button then went into the tank for several minutes, apologizing to the table twice for taking so long. Finally he said "fold" but held onto his cards for a moment longer.

Kostritsyn calls for just a few thousand more.

Kostritsyn: {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}
Cutoff: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Button: (hand folded, but exposed) {Q-?} {Q-?}

The board came {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {4-Spades} {6-Diamonds} giving the cutoff a pair of aces, eliminating Kostritsyn from the tournament.
