Another Big Tangle

[user66118]

Just a few minutes into the last table's play, we have already had our second big pot involving Gus Hansen.

Opening from late position, Michael Abecassis got all his chips into the middle pre-flop holding {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{A-Spades}

. He was looked up by Gus Hansen, who had plenty of chips and held {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

. With a pot of nearly 700,000 chips up for grabs, the dealer ran out the board:

{4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

Gus Hansen failed to overcome his severe deficit, and he shipped 342,000 chips over to his opponent. Michael Abecassis, on the other hand, is on the up and up, having climbed just over 700,000.
