Kostenko Spikes River to Survive
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Ian Kostenko jammed from the hijack for 590,000, and Scott Reynolds rejammed from the cutoff, forcing out all other players.
Ian Kostenko: A♣8♥ 
Scott Reynolds: 8♠8♣
Kostenko was in trouble with a single overcard, and looked to be heading for the exits after the 6♥5♣4♣ flop and 5♦ turn, but he drilled the A♥ river to stay in it.
