Alfio Battisti has left this tournament perhaps cursing his timing, he raised to 36,000 from the cutoff and Michel Abecassis called on the button. The flop was and Battisti fired out 41,000, Abecassis quickly made it 91,000 and Battisti moved in with Abecassis calling even faster than that.
Battisti showed but was drawing almost dead against the Frenchman’s , the turn spelt the end for the Italian pro while Abecassis housed up on the river.
