Cody Bets Every Street
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Jake Cody’s opponent was showing two- sixes on fourth street, but opted to check-call a bet. Fifth street came, as he checked again, but beat Cody into the pot with his call.
“There’s no point wasting his time,” said Cody’s opponent, happy to check-call it down.
The same happened on sixth and seventh, before Cody tabled his down cards, having two-pair, which was good for the entire pot.

Kassela KO'd
Level 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Chris Tryba completed and was met with one call before Frank Kassela two-bet. Tryba three-bet and both players called before he bet out on fourth. Kassela raised, Tryba three-bet and Kassela was all in for 900 as the unknown player folded as both player's boards ran out as follows leading into seventh.
Tryba: 
/ 
Opponent: / 
(folded on fourth)
Kassela: 
/ 
With Kassela spiking his flush and taking one of Tryba's full house outs away, Tryba would flip and slam over his 
on seventh to make a bigger flush then Kassela. With Kassela drawing to the case , he would unfortunately only find the 
to end his tournament early as Tryba moved to 17,500 in chips.
