Kostrityn Takes One from Arieh

On the next hand after the previous Phil Hellmuth hand, Alexander Kostritsyn raised to 6,000 as he has been doing quite often at the table. Josh Arieh called from the next seat and the flop came down {9-Spades} {6-Spades} {5-Spades}.

Kostritsyn checked and Arieh fired out 8,000. Kostritsyn made the call before the turn brought the {J-Spades} to the felt. Both players checked and the river was the {4-Clubs}. Both players checked again.

Kostritsyn tabled {K-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} and it was good as Arieh mucked.

"God!" jumped Hellmuth. "I had ace five. The ace of clubs or spades, I can't remember." He then pointed to Kostritsyn saying, "I was playing with you, but I gave Josh credit for a hand there."
