Abecassis All In

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

First into the pot from the cutoff seat, Michel Abecassis slid his full stack of 188,000 forward. Two seats over in the small blind, Ryan Franklin announced an all-in reraise, enough to get him heads-up with Abecassis.

"I've only looked at one," said Abecassis, as Franklin tabled {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

. Abecassis knew he had the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

, and it was likely he was ahead. But no; we all found out his second card together as he turned over {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

with a grimace.

Looking for at least a chop to stay afloat, the flop would bring more bad news for the at-risk Abecassis. It came out {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

to give Franklin the two pair and a strong grasp on the pot. Salvation came on the turn though; the unlikely {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

ripped off to fill in Abecassis' wheel! When the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

hit the river, he secured his much-needed double up, back over 400,000 as Franklin slips to 625,000.
