Kostritsyn and Singer Out
Alexander Kostritsyn joins the exclusive club of players to have busted on day one of a $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship.
After being short-stacked, Kostritsyn got his last chips in on third street against Frank Kassela. The board ran out as follows.
Kostritsyn: () ()
Kassela: () (X)
Kostritsyn could only get as far as a pair of sevens as Kassela made jacks and tens to collect the pot and eliminate Kostritsyn from the tournament.
On a nearby table a short-stacked David Singer also met his demise to become the third casualty of today's play.
