Kostritsyn Wins Without Showdown, Still Shows

Level 4
Alexander Kostritsyn
Alexander Kostritsyn

Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better

Marco Johnson raised in the cutoff, and Matthew Beinner tossed in calling chips in the small blind. Alexander Kostritsyn then three-bet in the big blind, which Johnson and Beinner both called.

Kostritsyn bet the 6107 flop as well as the 9 turn. Johnson and Beinner called both times, seeing the 6 river complete the board.

Kostritsyn fired a final bet into the pot. Johnson spent about a minute in the tank before he folded, after which Beinner quickly followed suit.

"Show," Johnson pleaded, and Kostritsyn obliged by tabling A2 before he mucked his two remaining cards.
