Ly will receive $118,816 for coming in fourth but will have to wait for another day to win his first WSOP bracelet.
Kostritsyn takes a Soviet-sized slam
Alexander Kostritsyn momentarily appeared to be running away with this event but Eric Brooks just fought back in a big way.
In the hand Kostritsyn bet heavily on his (X)(X)4

Seidel Smoked (5th)
PL.com’s pick to take down this event, despite his shortstack coming into the final table, has been eliminated. Erik Seidel was looking to take down his ninth bracelet but will have to wait for his next final table for another chance.
Seidel was able to double up once against Alexander Kostritsyn when he got all-in with two pair, aces and jacks, to Ly’s lower two pair, tens and sevens.
Not long after Seidel got deep in a hand with Minh Ly, getting all his chips in the middle once again. By the time all the cards were out Ly had the best hand with (A
