Kassela Scoops

Level 9 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Friedman: {x-}{x-} / {A-Spades}{6-Hearts}{J-Spades}{J-Clubs} / {x-}
Kassela: {x-}{x-} / {2-Clubs}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} / {x-}
Pescatori: {x-}{x-} / {7-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{J-Hearts} / {x-}
Mercier: {x-}{x-} / {A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} — Folded

Jason Mercier completed. He was called by Max Pescatori, Frank Kassela, and Adam Friedman.

On fourth street, action checked to Friedman, who bet. Mercier folded, but Kassela and Pescatori called. Fifth street came, and this time, Kassela and Friedman checked over to Pescatori, and he bet. Both players called. On sixth, all three players checked, then checked again on seventh.

Kassela showed {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{8-Spades}. Friedman flashed {4-}{2-}, showing that he didn't make a low. Pescatori drew the {9-Spades} and showed the {3-Hearts}, showing that he, too, failed to make his low, so Kassela scooped the entire pot with his two pair up.

The table has been a load of laughs as of late, fueled by a friendly atmosphere and a couple visits from the cocktail server.

"I don't even know what I have," Kassela said.

"You have a nine-low," Mercier joked.

"Wait, I do? Let me look to make sure," Kassela said, trying to grab his cards back.

"No, no, no," Mercier said. "Don't listen to us."
