Former WPT World Champion Joe Bartholdi Eliminated

Feb 22, 2009

Hevad Khan raises it up from middle position and a player in the cut off calls.  Joe bartholi is on the button and raises to 3,000.  The blinds fold and Khan makes it an additional 4,800 to go.  The cut off folds and Bartholdi calls.

The flop comes [Qh10d6h] and both players check.  The turn is the [5c] and Khan bets 3,500 into a 15,000+ pot.  Bartholdi moves all in and is instantly callled by Khan who holds [AdQd].  Bartholi shows [8c8d].

The river is a blank and Khan’s underbet on the turn makes Bartholdi commit all his chips to a losing hand.  He is eliminated from the tournament with about 380 players to go.
