Emergency Low

Level 6 : 150/300, 0 ante

A player in middle position raised to 600 from middle position only to have Alexander Kostritsyn three-bet to 2,100 from the small blind. Action folded back to the middle-position player and he moved all in for around 3,500, which Kostritsyn called.

Kostritsyn: {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

"Oh, oh," Kostritsyn said after seeing he was far behind. "Emergency low," he uttered as he pointed to his ace-eight. Sure enough, the board ran out {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Kostritsyn's emergency low got him his money back. He is sitting with 7,500.
