With the pot having around 80,000 in the middle, the board read {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and Frank Kassela was heads up with an opponent. The action was checked to Kassela who bet 60,000. His opponent was in the tank for a couple minutes before sticking in his chips. Kassela tabled {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} while his opponent showed {k-}{j-} before tossing it to the muck.

Kassela left his opponent with 3,500 in chips, barely enough for one big blind. "It was a value bet. I didn't want to bust you," Kassela said to his opponent.
