Kassela Doubles with a Full House

Frank Kassela raised under the gun to 275 and received calls from the player in the cutoff and in the big blind. It was three-handed to the {9-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} flop, which inspired Kassela to bet 600 after the big blind had checked. The cutoff got out of the way, the big blind made the call, and the {9-Spades} hit the turn.

The big blind check-called a 2,000 from Kassela, leading to the {2-Spades} on the river. Once again the big blind checked, Kassela moved all in for 1,075, and the big blind called. "Full house," Kassela said as he flipped {J-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}. The big blind took his time before tossing his cards in the muck.

Kassela's double couldn't have come at a better time considering he has used his two rebuy chips. That means he is sitting on a stack of 8,200 with no rebuy options available.
