Wells and Fridrich Chop a Huge One

Level 4

Frank Kassela: XxXx / 58710 / Xx - folded on seventh street
Robert Wells: XxXx / AQ98 / Xx
Aaron Steele: XxXx / K663 - folded on sixth street
Marian Fridrich: XxXx / 7423 / Xx

Action picked up on fifth as it checked to Fridrich who bet, and all three opponents called.

The madness began on sixth as Fridrich bet again, Kassela called, Wells check-raised, and Steele folded. Fridrich made it three bets, Kasella called, and Wells was all-in for 8,800. Fridrich completed the fifth bet, and Kasella called.

On seventh, Kasella quickly folded for a bet from Fridrich as he missed all his draws.

Wells tabled AAK in the hole as he was rolled up, and his trips were good for the high. Fridrich tabled A66, and his six-four low got the other half a huge pot.
