After the {2-Spades} brought it in, Michael Mizrachi completed only to have Frank Kassela raise it up. The rest of the players got out of the way, Mizrachi put in a reraise and Kassela called off.

Mizrachi: {6-Spades} {4-Diamonds} / {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {A-Hearts} / {2-Spades}
Kassela: {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} / {2-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {9-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} / {5-Hearts}

The two men who battled it our for the title of 2010 WSOP Player of the Year were at it again, but it was Kassela who was out in front. The turn wasn't very interesting, while fifth street gave Mizrachi a pair of queens and Kassela two pair. Much to the latter's dismay, sixth street demolished his hopes as Mizrachi spiked an ace for a bigger two pair.

"Are you kidding me?" Kassela asked in disbelief. Seventh street failed to change a thing and Kassela added, "You killed me today, Mike," before making his exit in 14th place.
