Kassela's "Good Pat Hand" Falls to Kelsall

David Salituro

Niveau 5 : 300/500, 800 ante

Frank Kassela raised before the draw and A.J. Kelsall defended his big blind.

Kelsall took one while Kassela patted. It would be Kelsall who took the lead after the draw, betting out 6,000. Kassela quickly called.

Kelsall showed an 8-7 and Kassela mucked, claiming to have had a nine-six.

"I had such a good pat hand. I didn't want to get rid of it," the 2010 Player of the Year said as he watched his chips head over to Kelsall's stack.
