3599 Frank Kassela
Like some of the other Shooting Stars in this field, Frank Kassela's breakout year in 2010 earned him a spot as a bounty inthis event. A longtime rinder, Kassela had a huge WSOP in 2010. He was the only player to win two bracelets that year, along with another final table and a cashin the Main Event, was enough to push him past MIchael "The Grinder" Mizrachi to claim WSOP Player of the Year honors. The Memphis-based family man divides his time between poker and running his ownbusiness, but has been a regular presence on the tournament circuit since the WSOP.
