Khordbin First to Bust
Level 1
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Picking up the action on a flop of 2♥4♦Q♥, Hadi Khordbin led with a bet of 4,000 and Sergei Petrushevskii called. On the K♣ turn, Khordbin flicked out a large bet and was quickly called again.
The river came the 3♣ and Khordbin pushed all in. Petrushevskii snapped his face off and revealed 4♣4♠ for a set of fours. Khordbin's cards were quickly scooped and he left the table as the first to bust on Day 1a of the Global Poker Championship.
Khordbin later reentered the flight and sat down with a fresh starting stack.
