Saad's Flush Sends Khorchidian to the Exit
Nicolae Toma raised to 35,000 from under the gun with Mark Saad calling from the cutoff, Ismail Tas calling from the button, Nichan Khorchidian calling from the small blind, and Baltazar Five defending his big blind.
Five players saw the flop come down K♠Q♦7♦ and the action checked to Saad, who bet out for 75,000. Tas folded, but Khorchidian check-raised to 173,000. Only Saad made the call.
Khorchidian continued with a bet of 300,000 on the 10♦ turn, leaving himself with around 250,000 behind. Saad shoved to put Khorchidian all in, and Khorchidian called.
Nichan Khorchidian: 7♠7♥ 
Mark Saad: K♦8♦
Khorchidian was behind with his flopped set of sevens, to the turned flush of Saad. The A♠ river didn't improve Khorchidian to a boat and he was out of the tournament.
