Kost Scoops Kassela
Level 11
: 1,000/2,000, 0 ante
Nicholas Kost opened with a raise from middle position and was called by Frank Kassela on the button and Jim Pechac out of the small blind. The flop came 
and Pechac checked to Kost who continued his aggression with a bet. Kassela and Pechac both called to see the 
turn card. The action was the same — Pechac checked, Kost bet, and both players called.
The river was the 
and it was checked around and Kost scooped the pot with 
for top two pair. Kassela, the 2010 WSOP Player of the Year, slipped to 23,100 after the hand.
