Hand for Hand

With Richard Anthony's elimination we are officially on the money bubble. Play will proceed hand for hand until one more player is eliminated.

Richard Anthony Eliminated in a Stunning Suckout

Frank Kassela opened for 37,000 and Richard Anthony moved all-in for his remaining 300,000. Kassela made the call.

Anthony {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}
Kassela {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Although Anthony still led on the {K-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Spades} flop, Kassela paired his ten and picked up additional outs with a flush draw. And on the turn... BOOM. The {10-Clubs} appeared right out of the clear blue sky. The river was the {J-Clubs} and Kassela took down the pot, eliminating a stunned Anthony.

"I knew I was drawing live against aces. Gotta love poker. The hands I play the worst I win," Kassela remarked. He's up to 1.1 million.
