With the action folded to him in the small blind, Frank Kassela made it 17,500 to go. John Duthie put in a reraise from the big blind and Kassela made the call.

The flop came down {J-Spades} {7-Clubs} {4-Spades}. Kassela bet 125,000, setting Duthie all in and the Englishman made the call.

Duthie {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}
Kassela {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}

Duthie was looking good to earn a double-up, but the {8-Clubs} cruelly spiked on the turn, making Kassela a set. The river was the {Q-Diamonds} and Duthie made his exit with a smile and a handshake, despite the two-outer.

After the hand, Kassela was up to 497,000.
