Keeline Showers Kassela

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Ben Keeline
Ben Keeline

Ben Keeline was just gifted a stack by Frank Kassela who proclaimed that he hoped he would lose the hand so that he could go play today's $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. championship.

According to Keeline, Kassela raised from early position with {8-}{5-}-offsuit and Keeline called with {k-}{j-}. Kassela bet the remainder of his chips, which was around two-and-a-half times the size of the pot, on a flop of {j-}{8-}{3-} and Keeline now finds himself with a healthy stack.

Level: 7

Blinds: 300/600

Ante: 600

Affleck Chipping Up

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Matt Affleck just put his opponent all in on a board of {k-Clubs}{a-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{10-Clubs} from the hijack. His opponent was in the big blind and ended up check-folding for his last 16,000 or so, which was the size of the pot. Affleck is climbing up the leaderboard early and could be a name to watch as the day progresses.
