Kassela Cripples Ma

Chad Holloway

Tony Ma was dealt the {3-Hearts} and brought it in only to have Frank Kassela complete with the {A-Diamonds} . Action folded back around to Ma and he made the call.

Kassela: {3-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {A-Clubs} / {A-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {4-Clubs} {A-Hearts}
Ma: {3-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} (X) / {3-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {2-Spades}

Ma proceeded to check-call bets on fourth and fifth streets, and then called a bet when Kassela led out on sixth. On the final card, Kassela bet once again and Ma made the call, leaving himself just 5,000 behind.

"Wheel," Kassela proudly said as he turned over his cards.

"How do you always have it?" Ma asked as he flashed his cards and then sent them to the muck.
