Harman Scoops Kassela

[user80015]

Jennifer Harman completed for 12,000 and Melville Lewis and Frank Kassela made the call.

Lewis led the betting on fourth as both players called, before Kassela took the lead on fifth. Harman snatched it back on sixth firing out 24,000 as Lewis passed and Kassela continued in the hand.

Both players checked down seventh with their boards reading as follows:

Harman: (X)(X) / {7-} {8-} {A-} {8-} / (X)
Lewis: (X)(X) / {A-} {6-} {k-} {Q-} (folded on sixth)
Kassela: (X)(X) / {8-} {3-} {5-} {10-} / (X)

Harman tabled her {9-} {6-} {2-} in the hole for a eight-seven low to best Kassela's {A-} {A-} {5-} in the hole and his ten-eight low.

Harman now moves to 478,000 as Kassela slips to 345,000 in chips.
