Abecassis' Aces

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Michel Abecassis raised (or possibly re-raised) to 38,000 before the flop, and Ricardo Sousa moved all in over the top. Abecassis had 299,500 chips left, and he committed them all with an all-in call.

He was in fine shape though. The French pro tabled {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Clubs}

, while Sousa could only show {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

, behind and suit-dominated to boot. (That's another pair of aces on Table 2, if you're keeping score at home.)

The board ran out blanks: {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{2-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{3-Diamonds}

. Abecassis holds his pocket aces to pick up the big double over 600,000. Sousa, on the other hand, has slipped back to about 290,000.
