Frank Kassela bested 170 players to win his first WSOP bracelet and $447K to win Event #15 of the 2010 World Series of Poker, a $10,000 buy-in Seven Card Stud Hi-Low Split Eight or Better World Championship, which had the richest prize pool in poker history for a Seven Card Stud High Low Split event at $1,598,000.
The final table included former WSOP bracelet winners like Steve Zolotow, Jennifer Harman, John Juanda and Dario Minieri. However, the big winner was Frank Kassela, a 42-year old businessman, who resides in Memphis, Tennessee. Frank Kassela went heads-up against his good friend and poker pro Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler, but the 4-to-1 chip advantage of Frank Kassela was just too much to overcome in a Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Split game.
The other results of the eight-handed final table are as follows:
2nd: Allen "Chainsaw" Kessler - $276,485
3rd: Jennifer Harman (USA) - $173,159
4th: Steve Zolotow (USA) - $125,379
5th: John Juanda (USA) - $97,989
6th: Kirill Rabcov (Russia) - $78,142
7th: Vladimir Schemelev (Russia) - $63,456
8th: Dario Minieri (Italy) - $52,366
Vladmir Schemelev has an early lead in the 2010 WSOP Player of the Year Race. He is the first player to make three final tables in the 2010 WSOP, and also the first player in history to make three final table in three designated "World Championship" events in a single year, including the $50,000 buy-in Poker Players Championship, $10,000 buy-in Seven Card Stud championship, and this $10,000 buy-in Seven Card Stud Hi-Lo Split.
