Lewis led the betting on fourth as both players called, before Kassela took the lead on fifth. Harman snatched it back on sixth firing out 24,000 as Lewis passed and Kassela continued in the hand.
Both players checked down seventh with their boards reading as follows:
Frank Kassela had the bring-in, and Chris Bjorin completed in the next seat over. Jen Harman called, Mikko Pispala raised, and both Bjorin and Harman put in the extra bet to continue in the hand.
All three players checked on fourth street, and Bjorin fired a bet on fifth. Harman ducked out, but Pispala made the quick call. Bjorin checked sixth street, and Pispala fired out the bet. Bjorin called, and he called one more bet on seventh street to see a showdown.
Pispala opened up and that gave him a very strong six-five-four-two-one. Bjorin shook his head as if he expected that, and he revealed his . Bjorin's six-five-four-three-two was no good, and that loss slips him all the way down around 100,000.
Bjorin has since lost another pot when he folded to a sixth-street bet from Stuart Rutter, further knocking him down to about 60,000.
Dee Tiller called Stuart Rutter's bring-in before Mikko Pispala completed for 12,000. Rutter folded but Tiller made the call as fourth street landed.
Pispala bet out, Tiller raised and Pispala re-raised. Tiller slid his last 50,000 into the pot and Pispala made the call as both player's boards ran out as follows:
Tiller: / / (X)
Pispala: {3x / / (X)
Tiller found a on seventh to keep him in the lead with his seven-six, but unfortunately Pispala found an to give him a six-five low as Tiller hit the rail in 9th place for a $15,329 payday.
Maxwell Troy had the bring in, and Frank Kassela completed with a four showing. Mikko Pispala wanted to play, and his six up was worth a call.
Kassela: (X)(X)//(X)
Pispala: (X)(X)//(X)
Once Pispala picked up the betting lead on fourth street, he fired bullets the whole way through sixth street. Both players slowed down a checked seventh, and Bjorin showed up for a jack-low.

Chris Bjorin was all in on third street for right around 40,000, and he was drawing against Vladimir Shchemelev for double or nothing.
Both men started strong with Shchemelev's ()()/ leading Bjorin's ()()/. That's the closest Bjorin would get as Shchemelev's board ran out ()()//() for a wheel.
