Kassela Takes the Chiplead
Level 6
: 400/800, 800 ante
Frank Kassela raised on the button and both Ayaz Mahmood in the small blind and the big blind called.
The dealer fanned a flop 
and Mahmood checked to the big blind who bet 5,000. Kassela quickly called and Mahmood let it go. The turn brought the 
and went check-check.
The 
paired the board on the river and the big blind bet 5,000. Kassela responded by raising it to 15,000 and after some thinking, the big blind called. Kassela tabled 
for the full house and scooped the pot as his opponent mucked.
Kassela, who busted two players in the same hand a few minutes earlier, has now climbed to a stack above 400,000 chips.
