Frank Kassela

No-Limit Hold'em

Frank Kassela is the third player eliminated from the Poker Players Championship.

Speaking to both James Obst and Aaron Katz, they informed us that on a {K-}{10-}{7-}{8-}{X-} board Kassela called all in holding {K-}{J-}.

Unfortunately for Kassela, his opponent in the hand was Matthew Ashton, and he held {J-}{9-} for the nut straight, and consequently eliminated Kassela late here in Level 5.
