Khorsandi Off to a Flying Start
Mojtaba Khorsandi bet 300 from early position and was called by the hijack, cutoff, button, and both blinds.
The flop came 10♥8♠7♣ and the small blind led out for 400, which got the big blind to fold. Khorsandi was undeterred by this and raised to 1,200. This was called by the cutoff and the small blind. The hijack and button folded.
The 2♣ landed on the turn and Khorsandi bet 2,700, which got a call from the cutoff and a fold from the small blind.
The 10♦ paired the board on the river and Khorsandi bet 3,200. The cutoff went deep into thought and after a few seconds, Khorsandi chirped "Come on, life is short, I am over the hill!" Trying to get the cutoff to make their decision quicker.
The cutoff eventually called and Khorsandi tabled 7♠7♥ for sevens full of tens which forced the cutoff to muck and Khorsandi took in a big pot at the start of the day.
