Kostritsyn Gets a Lesson from Ly

A typical school of thinking in poker is, "Aggressive poker is winning poker." Another saying that can apply in limit games is "speed kills." Alexander Kostritsyn was in a hand with Minh Ly just now where he completed the bet showing the {8-Hearts}. Ly reraised with the {8-Diamonds}.

On fourth, Kostritsyn caught the {8-Clubs} for a pair on board and made a double bet. Minh Ly, who caught a {Q-Diamonds}, beat him into the pot for the call. Fifth street came the {5-Hearts} for Kostritsyn and the {A-Hearts} for Ly. Kostritsyn bet and Ly called.

On sixth street Ly caught the {A-Spades} and immediately bet out with his hand. Kostritsyn, who caught the {3-Clubs}, looked back at his hand, shook his head slightly and mucked his hand. Ly had a sly grin on his face as he takes down the pot.
