Kostritsyn Wins a Passive-Aggressive Pot

[user66118]

The flop was {2-Spades} {10-Hearts} {2-Hearts} and there was about 20,000 in the pot when Chris Moorman bet 12,000. Alexander Kostritsyn check-raised to 35,000, and Moorman came right back over the top with a three-bet to 75,000 straight. Kostritsyn called.

After that heavy action, both players checked it down after the scary {A-Clubs} turn and {K-Spades} river. Kostritsyn turned up {10-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} for tens up, and that was good enough to win the pot and give him a two-to-one chip lead to work with.
