Abida Doubles Big Through Sol, Sol Instantly Doubles Back
It's all about Jaouad Abida at the moment as the last remaining hometown player got himself involved in another big pot. It was Ramon Sol who had defended his big blind earlier after Abida had raised.
On the turn, the board read 
and there was around 900,000 in the middle. Sol checked, Abida overbet shoved for 1,175,000 and Sol called it off after some thought.
