Kassela Crippled

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

We got to Frank Kassela's table as he was heads up against an opponent with the flop reading {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. Kassela's opponent bet out 1,600, and in response, Kassela made it 4,200. His opponent reraised most of his stack, Kassela said all in, and his opponent called.

Kassela: {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Opponent: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Kassela had a double gut shot straight draw, but it was well behind his opponent's bottom set. The turn and river paired the board, coming {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}, giving his opponent a full house. Kassela lost the pot, dropping him to 5,000.
