Maxwell Troy Eliminated in 2nd Place ($132,229); Frank Kassela Wins!
Maxwell Troy brought-in for 20,000 only to have Frank Kassela complete to 80,000.
Troy two-bet to 180,000 only to have Kassela announce "raise!"
Troy found his last 310,000 in the middle of the pot with Kassela making the call as both player's boards ran out as follows:
Troy: / /
Kassela: / /
With Kassela making a seven-five low to best Troy's seven-six, Troy hit the rail in 2nd place for a $132,229 payday as Frank Kassela is crowned a WSOP champion for the second time this series!
"Always a bridesmaid!" uttered Troy as he walked passed the PokerNews blogging desk in reference to his recent runner-up finish just a week ago in Event #27: $1,500 Seven Card Stud Hi-Low-8 or Better.
