Abecassis Out

Steven Merrifield raised to 4,500 from early position and Winamax Pro Michel Abecassis re-raised the pot essentially going all in. Merrifield made the small raise to put him all in flipped over his cards asking, "Do you have aces?" Abecassis said, "No, but I like my chances" and the two flipped over their cards.

Merrifield: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{q-Spades}{6-Spades}
Abecassis: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{j-Spades}{8-Spades}

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs} and Abecassis hit the rail just short of the money. Merrifield now moves up to around 170,000, more than four times what he started the day with.
