Rehman Kassam Eliminated From the "Table of Death"
United Kingdom's Rehman Kassam, who earlier made a prop bet that the tournament would make its guarantee, might be helping his cause in one way as he was just eliminated from the field and believed to be strongly considering to re-enter later today.
Kassem's exit was a bit of a cooler. Kassam opened up with 
and was three-bet to 6,500 by one opponent before the player in the small blind cold-called. Kassem called behind and flopped a set on a 
flop.
The player in the small blind and Kassem both checked before the player that three-bet preflop fired out a continuation-bet for 6,500. The player in the small blind called before Kassem raised to 20,000 and got calls from both players.
The action was checked to Kassam after the 
appeared on the turn. He open jammed the rest of his chips and got a call from the player that three-bet preflop before the player in the small blind folded and showed the table 
.
Kassam was looking good with his opponent turning over 
drawing to a five outer. However, one his opponent's outs appeared after the 
completed the board and Kassem hit the rail.
Shortly afterward, partypoker Ambassador Natalia Breviglieri, who was on the same table, shared that, "This table is the table of death."
She followed this up by explaining what she meant, stating that three players have already been eliminated from her table before the first break.
