Lesser Pair Fails Kostritsyn

Shamus
Shamus
Alexander Kostritsyn opened with a raise to 3,000 from under the gun, and got one caller from middle position.

The flop came {4-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}. Kostritsyn bet 4,500, and his opponent called. The turn was the {J-Spades}. This time Kostritsyn bet 10,000, and again his opponent called.

The river brought the {2-Hearts}. Kostritsyn tried again, betting 25,000 this time. Once more he was called, after which his opponent flipped over {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Kostritsyn appeared to flash a middle pair (eights or nines), then tossed his cards dealerward.

After winning a few pots early on, Kostritsyn slips to 260,000.
