Raymond Matthaei bet on fifth street and was called by Frank Kassela. Matthaei continued betting on sixth, with Kassela calling to seventh.
Matthaei bet again and this time Kassela gave it some thought before folding. Matthaei showed a deuce as he dragged in the pot
"I was ahead on sixth. I would have raised if this was a cash game," Kassela said after the hand.
"These chips don't grow on trees," Matthaei responded.
According to tablemate Arthur Morris, five players put in two bets on third before Kassela and Matthaei went heads-up.
