Frank Kassela Builds Up His Stack

Frank Kassela from Memphis started off today's event by knocking out Allen Cunningham and he hasn't stopped sending players to the rail. He called an 800 re-raise from the player on the button and check-called a 1,300 bet after a {K-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {4-Clubs} flop. Kassela bet 3,500 after the {2-Spades} hit on the turn called when the other player moved all-in for about 4K more. Kassela had pocket Kings for the set while the other player had A-K and top two, and another deuce hit on the river to give Kassela another big helping of chips. His stack is now up around 27,000.

Todd Brunson Doubles Up

After a flop of {8-Spades} {2-Hearts} {2-Clubs} Bob Bright bet 1,000 and Todd Brunson raised to 2,500, which Bright called. Both players checked the {Q-Spades} on the turn, but Brunson moved all-in after the {2-Diamonds} fell on the river, and Bright called. Brunson turned over pocket Eights for the full house while Bright had pocket Tens. That hand pushed Brunson's stack up to about 16K.

ZeeJustin Is Crippled

Justin "ZeeJustin" Bonomo is fast becoming as well known for his live play as online, but he's got some work to do to fight back after this hand. Bonomo raised to 350 and was called in two places. After a {9-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} flop the player in the ten seat bet 800 and Bonomo called. The {10-Spades} turned and the ten-seat check-raised Bonomo to 5K. ZeeJustin moved all-in and was called for 1,125 more. Bonomo turned over {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} and the ten-seat showed his slow-played {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}. The {4-Hearts} on the turn provided no help and Bonomo saw his stack slashed to about 4,300.
