Abecassis At Risk
Showdown
Abecassis:
Opponent:
The door card was the right suit but the wrong rank for Abecassis, and the flop came out an unkind . The on the turn left the Frenchman drawing dead to the on the river, and he wished his table luck as he exited just before the last break of the night.
No Extra Value for McDonald
Flop:
McDonald checked to Pagano, who bet 14,000. The action moved back to McDonald who dwelled up long enough for this blogger to weave her way over to Dario Minieri's table and back - and then announced all in. It took Pagano only a second or two to pass.
McDonald did not buy the farm this time, and Pagano dips to 275,000.
Clemencon Doubles to the Max
Son of a Gun, Teng Has Good Fun with the Baio
Baio:
Teng:
Board: bink!
"Nyywaaahh," said Baio and headed for the door.
Teng is up to 340,000.
Kitai Doing Work
Three-handed then, the flop came out . Kitai and the raiser checked, and the late-postion player bet 10,000. Kitai then snuck in a check-raise to 28,000, and only the bettor called.
The two remaining players watched the fall on fourth street, and Kitai came with the big stick. He announced, "Tapis," and slid his towers of chips out across the betting line. The dealer announced the amount as 94,000, but our count put the all-in wager at 134,000. Either way, the two men were virtually even in chips, and there was a big decision to make. Kitai's opponent went into the tank for several minutes, long enough for someone to call the clock on him. After about half of his time, he released his cards with a frown.
Kitai flashed for no pair and a big draw as he raked in the pot. That moves the Belgian back up to about 210,000 where he was a few minutes ago.

Ainsworth drops to a still very respectable 240,000.
Eastgate Heading South

The former world champ drops to 105,000 while Verdier ups his stack to 260,000.
Big Stack Gets Bigger
They saw a river and Soysal checked; after a moment of huffing and puffing, Lanternier checked too, and was forced to turn over a mere . Soysal turned over , and took down the 100,000+ pot to put him up to an enormous 410,000.
