Early Haul for Horst
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
In a single-raised pot to the 8♥10♣7♠ flop, Duncan Horst bet 600 from middle position. Schahin Ghiai called in the cutoff and called again when Horst sized up to 2,100 on the K♦ turn.
The J♥ river saw Horst pile in 5,100. Ghiai snap-called for Horst to reveal A♥9♦ for a straight. Ghiai added his cards to the muck, admitting defeat.
Meanwhile, Shawn Sullivan had emerged as one of the early chipleaders on the cluster stage.
