Sebag Bags an Overwhelming Chip Lead

Level 6 : 200/400, 0 ante
Frank Kassela - Eliminated
Frank Kassela - Eliminated

We just watched a massive amount of chips get shipped over to Emmanuel Sebag who is now most definitely our chip leader.

After the flop came {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades} the first player to act checked, Frank Kassela bet 2,000, another player called and the button, Emmanuel Sebag, raised to 7,000. The first player folded, Kassela called the 7,000, and the next player potted it up to 30,800. Sebag then went all in and both Kassela and the other player called.

Sebag: {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Kassela: {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades}
Other Player: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

Sebag had flopped the nut straight and the turn and river of the {q-Spades} and {a-Hearts} didn't help Kassela or the other player who were both eliminated.

Sebag's stack is now a towering 170,000.
