Kassela's Running Scoop

[user67765]

Omaha-8

Frank Kassela opened with a raise from early position before Jani Sointula popped it up. Eli Elezra was happy to call three bets cold on the button as David Chiu came along from the big blind. Kassela also called and they saw a flop of {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{7-Diamonds}

.

Action checked to Sointula who bet with all three opponents making the call. The turn was the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

and this time Chiu led out with a bet from the big blind. Kassela and Sointula called as Elezra decided to release.

The river brought the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

and the three players checked it down.

Kassela tabled {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

{3-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

for a backdoor flush which was good to scoop as his opponents mucked.
