The Table 43 War Continues

Phil Hellmuth opened the pot to 5,000 and was met with three callers; including Alexander Kostritsyn from the button and Josh Arieh out of the small blind.

The flop fell down {3-Spades}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Arieh checked before Hellmuth fired 16,000 at the pot. He managed one fold, but both Kostritsyn and Arieh came along for the ride.

Both the turn and river were checked through when it came the {8-Clubs} and {4-Hearts}.

"Four!" announced Arieh as he tabled his {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}.

"I can beat that" stated Kostritsyn as he kept his cards capped tightly with both hands.

"I got a five buddy" said Hellmuth, before mucking at the sight of Kostritsyn's {7-Clubs}{7-Spades} to see him rake the pot and move to 632,000 in chips.
