Montgomery Bounces Right Back

Chris Kassela got his stack into the middle preflop with {A-Spades} {K-Spades}, only to run smack into Scott Montgomery's {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs}.

The case king on the flop was devastating for Kassela, but things would start to improve when the {A-Diamonds} put {K-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {Q-Spades} {A-Diamonds} on board after fourth street. Kassela was looking for one of the two remaining aces to stay alive, but the river {4-Hearts} was most certainly not one of them.

Kassela is out, and that pot pushes Montgomery back to 170,000. "I told you guys I'd get into the money," he said as he stacked that pot. We'll point out that he's not quite there yet...
