Alexander Kostritsyn Doubles Through David Benefield

In a battle of the blinds the two players exchanged raises until Kostritsyn was all in. He turned over {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts} to Benefield's {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts}. The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} and when the hand was done Kostritsyn had doubled up to 300,000, while Benefield's stack slipped to approximately the same amount.
