Kostritsyn Collapses

Alexander Kostritsyn
Alexander Kostritsyn
After betting the turn and river, Alexander Kostritsyn was faced with a river raise by Cristian Dragomir on a board of {9-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Kostritsyn insta-called with {K-?}{J-?}, but Dragomir showed {K-Spades}{9-Spades} for rivered trips to snatch the pot away from Kostritsyn. Dragomir moved up to 1.3 million chips.

Shortly after, Kostritsyn found himself up against Scott Carpenter on a board of {6-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}. Kostritsyn fired 60,000 on the river and Carpenter made the call tabling {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for just second pair. It was a good call as Kostritsyn mucked his cards to slip back to 700,000 chips.
