Kassela Chops Twice for Minor Profit
Stud 8 or Better
James Obst: 6♦4♦2♠ / 2♥2♦9♠7♦
Frank Kassela: A♣A♥3♦ / 5♦7♥8♦K♣
Sampo Ryynanen: XxXx / 3♣4♥Q♠J♣ / Xx
Frank Kassela was all-in on third street and found two callers in James Obst and Sampo Ryynanen. They checked to sixth street on which Obst bet and Ryynanen called. The same action repeated on seventh street and Obst tabled a set of deuces. Kassela had the low and chopped for a small profit.
James Obst: XxXx / 2♦K♦9♣ folded on fifth street
Frank Kassela: 7♣3♥ / A♠2♣9♠4♥ / 6♣
Sampo Ryynanen: 4♠3♦ / A♦7♠8♣7♦ / 10♣
Rinse and repeat, as Kassela was all-in on third street again. This time, Ryynanen bet fourth and fifth street with Obst calling just once. Ryynanen had the low on fifth and paired up on sixth. However, Kassela spiked the superior low on seventh and chopped some further profit.
Kassela then scored a straight double in Badeucey to stay in contention.
