Seat 7: Frank Kassela (180,000 in chips)
Frank Kassela became a household name in 2010 when he had a breakout WSOP with six cashes that resulted in three final tables and bracelets in the $10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi-lo Championship ($447,446) and $2,500 Seven Card Razz ($214,085) which eventually lead to him being crowned Player of the Year.
Although previously being known as a cash game grinder, Kassela has been amassing results for the best part of ten years around the country and currently sees him sit with 17 WSOP cashes and over $2.3 million in earnings coming into today’s final table.
With his vast experience playing mixed games – and two bracelets to show for it – Kassela and his 180,000 chip stack will see him as easily one of the biggest threats for the other nine players seated alongside him.
