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: ( {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{4-Spades}

{8-Diamonds}

Kassela: ( {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

)

{10-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

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.
