Chopping Kostritsyn

Omaha 8/b:

First in from the button, Brian Townsend opened the pot with a raise. Alex Kostritsyn and Daniel Alaei called from their respective blinds, and the three men went off to a flop of {3-Spades} {8-Hearts} {3-Diamonds}. The blinds checked, and Brian Townsend followed up his preflop aggression with a post-flop bet. Kostritsyn called, Alaei made it two bets, and both players called the raise.

The turn came the {A-Hearts}, and both opponents called another bet from Alaei. They action repeated on the {6-Diamonds} river, and the cards were on their backs:

Arieh: {3-Clubs} {4-Spades} {8-Clubs} {9-Spades} (full house)
Townsend: {2-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {8-Spades} {9-Hearts} (sixty-five low)
Kostritsyn: MUCK (nothing very good)

Arieh - 215,000
Townsend - 145,000
Kostritsyn - 180,000
