Casella Chilled by Hartley's Sweat

Short-stacked Jim Hartley was all in preflop with {A-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} and called by Michael Casella's {A-Spades} {10-Clubs}. With appropriate pause for ESPN to establish their shots, the dealer burned and produced a flop of {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}.

"Oo, sweat, sweat," said one of the players not involved in the hand as Hartley had picked up all the diamond outs to go along with his out to a pair of threes. The {5-Clubs} on the turn didn't help Hartley, but the {10-Diamonds} did. Hartley doubled up to 430,000, while Casella fell to 754,000.
