Cartwright Picks Off the Bluff
Level 27
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Kyle Cartwright opened to 160,000 in the hijack and received calls from David Lee on the button and Matthew Kassela, defending his big blind.
The flop came 
and Kassela checked to Cartwright, who continuation-bet 190,000. Lee folded and Kassela called.
Heads-up action checked through the turn 
and the river fell 
. Kassela bet 350,000 and Cartwright thought for a bit, counting his stack of around 1.25 million before committing chips to call.
Kassela showed 
for the missed flush draw and Cartwright confidently tabled 
upon seeing it, good for the pot to take him back above 2.5 million. After losing the pot, Kassela now has under 1 million and is now the shortest stack among the six still in contention.
