Abecassis Hits the River to Double

Level 6 : 250/500, 50 ante

From early position, Ali Eslami raised to 1,400 and play folded Chanracy Khun on the button. He made the call and then Michel Abecassis reraised to 3,800 from the big blind. Eslami gave it up, but Khun made the call to see the flop.

The flop was {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and Abecassis led out for 4,400. Khun raised to put Abecassis all in, having him well covered. Abecassis called and put himself at risk for 19,525 total.

Khun tabled the {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for a flopped set of threes and Abecassis held the {J-Diamonds}{J-Spades} for an overpair.

After the {Q-Clubs} came on the turn and {J-Clubs} on the river, Abecassis held the winning hand and doubled up.
