The Abacus Certainly Has the Balls

Michel 'Abacus' Abecassis may be down to just 1,500, but you can't deny his testicular fortitude. With the board reading {10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Hearts}, Abecassis led out for 1,000 with {Q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} before calling an all in for 3,000 more. His opponent showed {K-Clubs}{10-Spades}, which not only held up, but improved on the {J-Clubs} turn and {K-Diamonds} river.

"I'm sorry," he said in victory. "No you're not," replied a disgruntled Frenchman.
