Frank Kassela Hamstrings Michael Gathy, Ben Ponzio Finishes Him Off

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 300 ante
Michael Gathy
Michael Gathy

Michael Gathy has just over 12,000 chips and in two hands was eliminated from the tournament in 42nd place.

  • On the first hand, Gathy raised to 3,000. Alex Foxen and Frank Kassela both called. Kassela drew two while Gathy and Foxen both stood pat. Kassela led for 12,000. Gathy thought for close to two minutes before calling. Foxen folded and Kassela won the hand with a nine-seven.
  • In the second hand, Frank Kassela opened the button to 4,000 into Gathy's big blind. Gathy was all in for less than the blind and his ante. Ben Ponzio was in the small blind and went all in for around 30,000. Kassela folded {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{2-Hearts} face up and Ponzio won the side pot. Ponzio stood pat with {9-}{7-}{6-}{5-}{3-} and Gathy drew one but missed and was eliminated.

The tournament is now on the money bubble after the Gathy elimination and is hand-for-hand.
