Michel Abecassis - 6th Place

From the button, Antonio Matias open-raised to 93,000 before Michel Abecassis quickly moved all in for 344,000 from the big blind. Matias would tussle with the decision for a minute or two before making the call with a chance to knock out a player.

He showed down {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{J-Diamonds}

, and Abecassis was looking for his {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{7-Spades}

to hold up and double him. Unfortunately for the Frenchman, the flop brought {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{4-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

to put him in the hole. The {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

on the turn gave him another two outs to hunt for, but the blank {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

filled out the board.

Abecassis got it in good, but he could not fade Matias' outs. He has been sent home in 6th place, taking home more than €60,000 for his fine efforts this week.
