Five Clubs for Abecassis

Michel Abecassis open-raised to 9,700, and Anatoly Gurtovoy three-bet to 22,000 from the button. When it came back to Abecassis, he wasted no time moving all in for 82,500, and Gurtovoy called just as quickly to put the Frenchman at risk of elimination.

Showdown
Abecassis: {10-Clubs}

Gurtovoy:

The flop was an interesting one as it came {3-Diamonds}

, giving the at-risk player a flush draw to work with. That draw would come through when the turn brought the {5-Clubs}

, but it was far from over. Abecassis would still need to fade all the aces, threes, and clubs left in the deck to remain alive.

The river was safe for him; the {J-Hearts}

. With just the right number of clubs, Michel Abecassis has pulled off a double up. He's back to about 170,000 now.
