Kassela Eliminated by Player He Should Have Eliminated
Just before the last break, Frank Kassela was busted from the tournament by Z Stein, who made a wheel to beat Kassela's nines and fours.
Stein alerted PokerNews to the bustout, not because of the significance of this hand, but because of one the duo played earlier in the tournament.
Stein said that Kassela had misread his hand in the earlier pot thinking he had just ace high, when in fact he had a winning flush versus Stein's aces-up. Kassela checked seventh street, leaving Stein with under one big bet, which he would have claimed had he bet and been called, which Stein said he would have.
Instead, Stein survived with 900 chips and ran it up to the point where he had Kassela covered in their most recent encounter as Stein eliminated the man whose mistake kept him alive in the tournament.
