Kostritsyn Survives

[user75032]

Kostritsyn: {8-Spades} {8-Clubs} / {9-Hearts} {a-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {j-Clubs} / {6-Diamonds}
Adams: {q-Diamonds} {a-Diamonds} / {10-Diamonds} {q-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} / {j-Hearts}

Brandon Adams went for the kill against Russian Alexander Kostritsyn. Adams' three diamond Broadway cards were about an even-money proposition against Kostritsyn's buried eights. Kostritsyn improved to trip eights by the river; Adams had queens and tens. Neither player filled up, allowing Kostritysn to double up to about 72,000.
