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}{4-Spades}) {7-Spades}{K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} ({7-Hearts})
Kassela: ({3-Clubs}{10-Spades}) {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} (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.
