Michel Abecassis Eliminated in 8th Place ($111,278)

Michel Abecassis - 8th Place
Michel Abecassis - 8th Place
The action for this hand is somewhat cloudy, but here's what we could gather:

It appears that Claudio Rinaldi opened the action from early position with a raise to 110,000. The table passed around to the short-stacked Michel Abecassis who moved all in for the second time here in the early going. Rinaldi instantly called, putting Abecassis at risk of elimination. The hands were shown down:

Abecassis: {7-Spades} {7-Clubs}
Rinaldi: {K-Spades} {K-Hearts}

Abecassis stood up while the dealer determined his fate, spreading out the board: {2-Hearts} {3-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {A-Clubs}. Unable to catch any help from the community cards, Michel Abecassis shook the hands of his opponents and made his way to the rail as the spectators applauded his efforts. For his work, he will pocket a respectable $111,278.
