Level 14
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
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.
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.
Kasella:   |
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.

The player on the button opened for 3,200 Tristan Wade raised to 11,800 from the small blind. Then Aubin Cazals put in another raise to 24,800. The original raiser folded quickly and Wade took a few moments before throwing his hand away as well.
