Kassela Pulls Back
Frank Kassela brought it in with a nine showing, and once again he defended to a completion from Maxwell Troy and his up four.
Kassela: (X)(X)/
Troy: (X)(X)/
Kassela fired bets on fourth, fifth, and sixth streets, and Troy called the first two of those. Just like Kassela in the last hand, though, he paired up on sixth and decided a fold was in order.
Kassela - 1,215,000
Troy - 1,525,000
Fifth Street! And Sixth!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have fifth street.
Frank Kassela had the bring-in with a 
, and he defended when Maxwell Troy completed.
Kassela: (X)(X)/
Troy: (X)(X)/
Troy was betting the whole way, getting us deeper into a pot than we've been since heads-up play began. "Looks like we're finally going to play a big pot," Kassela said on fourth street. He called Troy's bets on fourth and fifth, but he could not call on sixth after catching an open pair.
That's the most chips we've seen pushed in either direction in an hour, and that one moves Kassela back down under one million chips.

Kassela's Astute Observation
"I don't think we've made it past fifth street since then," Frank Kassela said, talking about the elimination of Vladimir Shchemelev.
He's right. We don't remember a pot going past fifth in the last half hour. Not even one. There's just not much going on right now, and most of these three-handed pots are ending before fourth street, for that matter.
We're finding ways to kill time now, including ordering copious amounts of coffee from the cocktail server and writing senseless haikus:
When you're playing razz
You want to make the worst hand
Oh my god, Shaun Deeb
There's a hand developing now... so we'll quit. Plus Kassela is taking over the stand-up comedy: "I wonder how much I finished with," he said, still talking about the other tournament he's in. "That's the tighest I've ever played a H.O.R.S.E. tournament."
