Kassela KO'd

Level 8 : 250/500, 50 ante

Preflop action had resulted in Frank Kassela (button) and a lone opponent (big blind) seeing a flop come {9-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Spades}. Kassela's opponent checked, he bet 1,700, his opponent check-raised to 4,600, and Kassela called. The turn brought the {Q-Hearts} and a bet of 5,500 from the BB, which Kassela snap-called.

The river was the {2-Spades}, prompting Kassela's opponent to announce he was all in. Kassela, with just about 10,000 left, quickly called, and his opponent showed {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for trip nines. Kassela mucked, saying he'd had {A-}{K-} as he did, and soon after made his exit.
