Frank Kassela Gets Quartered

Omaha-8:

Johnny Chan raised from middle position and Ali Eslami called from the small blind, as did Frank Kassela from the big blind.

The flop came {A-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}. Eslami and Kassela both check-called the flop bet of Chan. The turn fell the {2-Clubs} and Eslami checked. Kassela bet and both Chan and Eslami made the call. The river came the {3-Clubs} and Eslami checked. Kassela bet and was quickly raised by Chan. Eslami folded but Kassela called. The players showed:

Chan: {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {5-Spades} {3-Hearts}
Kassela: {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {6-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}

Both players had the same low but Chan's full house was best for high. He took three-quarters of the pot and is now up to about 112,000 in chips. Kasella and Eslami each fall to approximately 74,000 and 80,000 respectively.
