Good Start for Kassela

Frank Kassela has had a good start to the day, seeing his stack already increase to just shy of 35,000 in chips. A recent hand that went Kassela's way started when the action was folded to the player in the cutoff and they opened the pot to 300. Kassela then three-bet to 850 from the small blind and the dealer spread out a {6-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop.

On the flop, Kassela led for 1,100 and his opponent called. A {4-Diamonds} was then slapped on the turn and Kassela led for 1,700. The {2-Spades} completed the board on the river and Kassela again led, this time for 2,400. It was too much for Kassela's opponent as they folded and sent the pot to Kassela.
