Alexander Kostritsin's Day 7: Highs and Lows in the Poker Tournament


Day 7 of the poker tournament was eventful, with 78 players remaining. Teo Jorgensen started as the chip leader with 9,300,000 chips, but the lead changed hands as the day progressed. Alexander Kostritsin, one of the Russian players, had 5,715,000 chips and was among the notable players.

Jean-Robert Bellande, who had been hoping for better luck, left the tournament in 78th place. His exit was marked by a series of unfortunate hands, including one where he went all-in with Qd Td against Ah Qc. Despite his efforts, Bellande's plan did not work out as he hoped.

Toni Dunst made a unique deal with a spectator, promising a kiss if he went all-in. This deal came to fruition when he went all-in with Qs Qd against As Kd. Despite the king on the flop, Dunst won the hand and the kiss. Alexander Kostritsin finished in 52nd place after a dramatic preflop hand. William Thorson became the chip leader with 13,045,000 chips, securing his position as a top contender.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
