Pundits, break out your poker metaphors: Frank Kassela, a professional gambler and the 2010 World Series of Poker player of the year, has filed papers to run for Congress in Nevada.
Kassela is seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge two-term Republican Joe Heck, who is best known for blasting GOP Congressional leadership on their lack of movement on immigration reform.
