Level 11

Brad Ruben: / - folded on fifth street
Frank Kassela: /

Frank Kassela completed and Brad Ruben raised. Action folded back over to Kassela, who called.

Ruben called a bet from Kassela on fourth and Kassela said, "Of course you'd call. Give him another queen!"

The queen did come for Ruben on fifth and Kassela bet again, which got Ruben to fold.

"He can call the cards," Ruben said. "Someone call the floor. I'm frazzled."
