2010 World Series of Poker Player of the Year, Frank Kasella is having a field day of late. Just a short while ago we brought you the action of a big hand he took down and recently he has been at it again.
In the hand in question, Kasella and one opponent both committed 5,800 preflop to watch as the dealer spread three cards across the felt.
Flop:
This is where all the play started heating up. Kasella led for 9,800 and his opponent quickly popped it to 21,200. Back on Kasella and he would make it 48,800. Kasella's opponent then shoved his stack in the middle and Kasella made the call.

Opponent: |
Kasella was in front at this stage, but when the dealer slammed over an on the turn, Kasella's chance of taking down the hand was left slim. However that would all change as a completed the board on the river, sending the large pot to Kasella and one player out of this tournament.

Katie Stone has managed to gain some momentum over at her table. A recent hand saw Mike Matusow open to 5,100 from the cutoff. Vojtech Rozicka then called on the button and it was on Stone in the big blind. Stone thought for several moments before asking Matusow how much he had behind. Matusow obliged with an answer and Stone then turned her attention to Rozicka. After contemplating his stack, Stone opted to slide in a large pile of 1,000-denomination chips. It was too much for Matusow who let his hand go quickly, while Rozicka also didn't want to rumble with one of the last ladies standing in this tournament. Stone took down the pot and added to her stack.
We didn't catch the hand, but we did see Chino Rheem exiting the tournament area. We checked Twitter and here's how it happened in his words.
