Yu Doubles Through Kassela

Level 7

No-Limit Hold'em

We arrived at the table to see Ben Yu's stack being cut down and Frank Kassela having to pay the price. It appears to have been a blind-vs-blind battle where Kassela may have misjudged the size of Yu's stack. Regardless, the money went all in preflop with Yu having the {a-Hearts}{8-Spades} and Kassela having the {6-}{6-}.

Yu was able to spike an eight on a {2-}{2-}{8-}{j-}{4-} board and score the double up.
