Troy Back Down

Maxwell Troy
Maxwell Troy

Maxwell Troy raised the bring-in with his six showing, and Frank Kassela called with a seven up.

Troy: (X)(X)/{6-}{8-}{Q-}{7-}/(X)
Kassela: (X)(X)/{7-}{2-}{K-}{4-}/(X)

On fourth street, Kassela bet and Troy called, and Troy fired out a leading bet on fifth street. Kassela raised, and Troy called the extra bet. Kassela bet again on sixth street, and Troy decided a fold was in order.

He mucked, and that loss slips him down to 215,000.

Nine-Eight Enough for Kassela

Vladimir Shchemelev completed only to have Frank Kassela two-bet. Shchemelev called, and then called on fourth before both players checked fifth.

Shchemelev fired out on sixth and Kassela called before both players checked seventh.

Shchemelev: (X)(X) / {9-}{J-}{6-}{2-} / (X)
Kassela: (X)(X) / {5-}{J-}{9-}{8-} / (X)

Kassela tabled his {4-}{7-}/{8-} and Shchemelev flashed his {9-}{7-}{2-} before mucking.

Shchemelev slipped to 500,000 as Kassela raked in the pot to move to 790,000 in chips.

Another Double for Troy

Maxwell Troy completed only to have Frank Kassela two-bet to 50,000.

Troy made the call and Kassela fired out on fourth and fifth before - after calling each bet - Troy led on sixth and then for his last 8,000 on seventh.

Troy: (X)(X) / {2-}{6-}{J-}{A-} / (X)
Kassela: (X)(X) / {6-}{A-}{K-}{Q-} / (X)

Kassela made the call only to see Troy table his {7-}{3-}{3-} to collect the pot and double to 340,000 as Kassela flashed his {2-}{2-}(X) in the hole to slip to 626,000 in chips.

...And Troy Halved Again

Frank Kassela was the bring-in, and he was the only player to fold on third street. Melville Lewis raised with his six up, Vladimir Shchemelev called with a four, and Maxwell Troy followed suit with his seven in the door.

Lewis: (X)(X)/{6-}{6-}{A-}{8-}/(X)
Shchemelev: (X)(X)/{4-}{10-}{K-} --muck--
Troy: (X)(X)/{7-}{2-}{Q-}{K-}/(X)

On fourth street, Troy bet his lead, and both opponents called. Troy bet again on fifth, and this time only Lewis called as Shchemelev elected to duck out of the way. On sixth street, Lewis took the betting lead, and Troy check-called. He check-called one more on seventh street, though he looked pained as he tanked pre-call.

Lewis said, "Eight," and he turned up his {8-}{4-}{2-}. It was good; Troy tapped the table with his cards and then mucked, and that loss drops him back to 160,000.

Troy Finds Double

Maxwell Troy completed and Frank Kassela made the call.

Kassela fired out on fourth only to have Troy raise. Kassela called and then led once again on fifth before checking sixth as Troy called fifth before betting sixth.

Kassela obliged with a call, and then checked seventh as Troy moved all in for his last 38,000.

Troy: (X)(X) / {3-}{K-}{6-}{7-} / (X)
Kassela: (X)(X) / {2-}{J-}{3-}{10-} / (X)

Kassela deliberated for a few moments before making the call only to be shown Troy's {A-}{4-}{4-} for a seven-six as Kassela flashed his {8-}{4-}{2-} before mucking.

As Kassela dropped to around the 620,000-chip mark, Troy doubled through to 430,000 in chips.

Seven-Perfect For Kassela

Maxwell Troy completed for 25,000 and Frank Kassela raised to 50,000 with Troy making the call.

Kassela led on every street with Troy calling only to have both players check seventh down.

Troy: (X)(X) / {A-}{7-}{5-}{Q-} / (X)
Kassela: (X)(X) / {4-}{A-}{7-}{Q-} / (X)

Kassela tabled his {2-}{3-}/{J-} for a seven-perfect and collected the pot to move to 750,000 as Troy mucked and slipped to 270,000 in chips.

Save Your Money, Maxwell

Vladimir Shchemelev was the bring in.

Maxwell Troy completed, and Melville Lewis raised to two bets, both men showing a deuce up. Troy called.

Troy: (X)(X)/{2-}{3-}{9-}{K-}/(X)
Lewis: (X)(X)/{2-}{A-}{10-}{A-}/(X)

Lewis bet his lead on fifth street, and Troy promptly raised. When Lewis called, Troy led again on fifth and sixth streets with Lewis calling both of those bets as well. On seventh street, Troy checked, and Lewis fired the final bet. After a bit of a pause to stare, Lewis said, "All right, take it," and folded his cards under. After another second, he added, "Show a bluff, I'll give you $100 out of my pocket."

"Really?!" Lewis asked. "Nah, save your money." With that, he flashed his {7-}{3-}{6-}, and Troy tapped the felt in acknowledgement.

Troy - 237,000
Lewis - 1,215,000
