Abehassera Rockets Up Ranks
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Stephane Abehassera opened with a raise to 1,100 under the gun. Luca Bernardi bumped it up to 3,500 in middle position, after which Claudio Di Giacomo four-bet to 11,000 from the big blind.
Abehassera decided to commit his stack of 34,400, folding out Bernardi. Di Giacomo asked for a count and called when he heard the correct amount.
Stephane Abehassera: A♠A♦ 
Claudio Di Giacomo: A♣K♥
Di Giacomo flopped some hope on 5♣6♥K♦, but no more kings arrived on the 4♣ turn or Q♠ river. Abehassera booked a big double-up, leaving Di Giacomo with about eight big blinds.
