Crying Call for Cowboys?

Michel Abecassis, in what looks to be a rather French-dominated section of the tournament area (it features Arnaud Mattern, plus Ludovic Lacay and Antoine Amourette sat next to each other) just lost a few early thousand with {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, although the scariness of the board may have worked to save him from a bigger confrontation with his in-position opponent... Abecassis had bet out 1,225 on a {J-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} flop from the small blind, and got a fairly quick call. Both players then checked the {10-Hearts} turn but the {Q-Hearts} river saw Abecassis check-call a bet of 1,600. His opponent flipped up the {A-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} and received a quick flash of the Kings as they made their way straight into the muck.
