"Cobra" Khai KO's Kassela

PokerNews has just received confirmation that TeamAPL's "Cobra" Khai Nguyen was the man responsible for the elimination of 2010 WSOP Player of the Year, Frank Kassela.

As it was recalled to us, the player under the gun raised to 1,000 before Nguyen re-raised to 4,500. Kassela then went all-in over the top for about 15,000 and the UTG player folded before Nguyen snap-called.

Nguyen: {Q-}{Q-}
Kassela: {J-}{J-}

The board improved neither hand and Kassela was cast out of the 2011 WSOP Main Event. Nguyen is now in cruise control with more than 75,000 in chips!
