Decision, Interrupted

On a flop of {9-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs}, the player first to act checked, and Alex Kostritsyn put in a bet of 8,000. His opponent called and checked again when the {8-Spades} came on the turn. Kostritsyn fired another 22,000, and his opponent once again made the call.

The last card off was the {4-Hearts}. With it checked again, Kostritsyn loaded up 75,000 and fired at the pot one last time. His opponent went deep into the tank, but he would be interrupted mid-thought. Phil Hellmuth, a floor person, and a whole gaggle of camera and sound guys made their way to the table after Hellmuth's table had broken. The distraction was a lengthy one, and the player finally folded to Kostritsyn's bet.

With the Brat's arrival, Table 43 is now loaded:
Seat 2: Alex Kostritsyn
Seat 3: Josh Arieh
Seat 7: Phil Hellmuth
Seat 9: Chris Bjorin
