Level 14 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante
Frank Kassela
Frank Kassela

After tangling with Don Zewin over the past hour, Frank Kassela finally fell to him. Zewin was showing {9-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{2-}{A-} with one of his other cards covered while Kassela's hand was already mucked and Zewin was scooping the chips. The Day 1 chip leader hit the rail in 16th place, just before the money bubble.

"I guess I should've raised you," Kassela said as he was making his exit.
