Double or Nothing for Abecassis

For the second hand in a row, Raul Paez opened with a raise, this time making it 75,000 to play from under the gun. Next to act was Michael Abecassis, and he moved all in for an additional 244,000. Action passed around the table, and Paez made the call, putting his opponent at risk of elimination.

Paez: {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Abecassis: {7-Spades} {7-Hearts}

Off to the races. The dealer dealt out the community cards: {8-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {6-Spades}. Paez failed to catch any of his cards, and he gives the majority of his chips to Abecassis, leaving himself just 95,000 chips to play with.
