Another Kassela Raise Chases Off Kelly
Dan Kelly opened for 125,000, Shawn Buchanan called from the small blind and Frank Kassela called from the big blind.
The action was checked to Kelly on the 
flop. He bet 160,000, Buchanan folded, and Kassela raised to 685,000. Kelly folded and Kassela took down the pot.
Jason Somerville Eliminated in 4th Place ($386,125)
First to act, Frank Kassela opened the pot to 140,000. Next door, Jason Somerville moved all in for 1.1 million, and Dan Kelly quickly folded his small blind. Shawn Buchanan was thinking about it in the big blind, though, and he eventually announced a reraise all in over the top. Kassela quickly ducked out, and Somerville knew he was in trouble as the cards were turned over:
Somerville: 
Buchanan: 
It was going to take a lot of luck for Somerville to stick around, and the flop wasn't particularly helpful as it came 
. He still needed to find two friendly running cards, but the turn was a miss and left him drawing dead to the 
river.
Jason Somerville has thusly been dispatched of in 4th place. He picked his spots carefully for three-plus days, but he found a bad spot when it mattered most, running into aces and running out of chips. He'll take home close to $400,000 for his work here this week.
Buchanan is up around 3.9 million as he stacks that pot.
Kassela Over Kelly
Frank Kassela opened for 140,000 from the button and Dan Kelly defended his big blind.
The flop was 
. Both players checked. The turn came the 
and Kelly led out for 165,000. Kassela called. When the 
hit the river, Kelly checked and Kassela bet 275,000. Kelly couldn't find a call and Kassela took down the pot.
Déjà Vu All Over Again
Dan Kelly raised to 125,000 under the gun, and Jason Somerville moved all in from the big blind. Kelly quickly folded, and that moved Somerville back up over the million-chip mark.
On the next hand, Shawn Buchanan opened to 130,000, and Somerville once again moved all in, this time from the small blind. Kelly quickly folded his big, but Buchanan took his pause to consider for a couple minutes. He shuffled chips and counted down his own stack to assess the potential damage. Finally, he decided a fold was in order, and he used his cap chip to flick his cards back to the dealer.
All-In and a Chop
Jason Somerville moved all-in from the button and Shawn Buchanan called from the big blind.
Somerville showed 
, Buchanan showed 
and when the board revealed no four-flush disasters, they split the pot.

and Kassela checked to Kelly, who bet 160,000. Kassela raised to 660,000 and Kelly laid it down.
