Khorchidian in the Field
Nichan Khorchidian opened to 1,500 from under the gun and Sylvain Berthelot three-bet from the next seat to 4,600. When the action got back to Khorchidian, he put on his sunglasses, stretched his arms, cracked his knuckles, and called.
On the 8♥A♣4♠ flop, Khorchidian checked and Berthelot fired 3,800. Khorchidian counted out calling chips, then counted out raising chips, but ultimately elected to fold and relinquish the pot to Berthelot.
After the hand, Berthelot offered Khorchidian the choice to pick one card and show the table, and he chose the K♥.
Lebanon's Khorchidian boasts two EPT final tables to his name, including one earned just last night in a Hyper Turbo event, where he secured ninth place for €7,700. With around $700,000 in earnings this year—his best yet—can he cap off a stellar 2024 in style here in Prague?
