Whoops! Early Exit for Kassela

Apparently things did not go very well for Frank Kassela in the early stages of this tournament. When we last passed by his table, he was down from the starting stack of 3,000 to just 275 -- with no rebuy chips left to burn. As we watched, a player opened pre-flop for 250 and was called in multiple spots. Kassela, on the button, just called the 250, leaving himself exactly 25 behind. That last quarter went in on a flop {q-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}. Kasella turned up {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a pair of sevens; his opponent showed {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds}, a pair of queens. The turn {3-Diamonds} and river {k-Hearts} sent Kassela home early.

"Good luck to y'all," said Kassella. "I guess I could have played better."
