Alexander Kostritsyn Avoids The Bubble
Alexander Kostritsyn raised to 1,800, Juha Vilkki bet pot, Kostritsyn moved all-in and Vilkki called all in the blink of an eye. We had a showdown, and not only was Kostritsyn at risk of elimination but Vilkki would be established as the Day One chip leader should he win the hand.
