Frank Kassela Steamrolling In Search of Third Bracelet

We noticed a huge brick of neatly stacked chips, with two clean towers each holding twenty of the yellow T1000 tournament chips, and found out that the owner was none other that two-time WSOP bracelet winner Frank Kassela.

You may remember Kassela from ESPN's televised coverage of the 2010 Main Event, where he made a deep run before ultimately finishing in 674th place, or his appearance at the $2,500 Pot Limit Hold'em final table in 2005, which was eventually won by Johnny Chan.

Kassela is one of the best professional tournament players that escapes public notice, but with over $2.2 million in live earnings on the circuit, and the chip lead here late on Day 1, he is definitely a threat to make another bracelet run in this event.
