"This is only my second hand!"

Level 1: 100 / 200 ante: 200

Joseph Magnotti

It was only the second deal at the table and Joseph Magnotti already send a player back to the registration booth. Hand opens as a three-way limp and a board 5♣ 2♥ 9♠ . Magnotti overbets 3200 from the small blind and gets called by big blind Mark Alvin Israel.

More chips go in the pot on the turn 4♦ with a bet of 5000 from Magnotti that gets jammed on by Israel. Magnotti calls and says "this is only my second hand!" And shows pocket tens. Israel mucks.

And just like that, we have the first bust of the day.
