Bach: (x-x) /
Kassela: (x-x) /

Bach ended up betting fourth street and Kassela called. Fifth street saw Kassela take the lead and he wasted little time in leading out for 200. Bach didn't look happy and slowly scooped up his cards before sending them to the dealer. It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on their respective chip counts.

Meanwhile, things didn't go Perry Friedman's way today as he found himself among the first eliminations.
