Kassela's Queens Flushed

Catching the action on the {2-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop, Frank Kassela fired out 10,500 with his opponent making the call.

The turn landed the {9-Spades} and Kassela check-called 25,000 as the {10-Diamonds} peeled off on the river.

Now faced with a 90,000-chip bet, Kassela again took the check-call line, but mucked at the sight of his opponent's {A-Spades}{5-Spades}.

"It's poker. I just can't believe I called the river!" stated Kassela.

"All I had was two red queens!" Kassela added.

"You played it good . . . whether you meant to or not!" jabbed Kassela as he re-adjusted his now 240,000-chip stack.
