Abecassis All But Out
Michel Abecassis is the latest man to get his shortening stack into the pot with a dominated hand. It was his in all kinds of trouble as Chino Rheem put him to the test with .
The flop was even more of a disaster for Abecassis, coming to make Rheem's lead larger. When the landed on the turn, Rheem reached out his hand to shake Abecassis', and the Frenchman began to stand from his chair.
We don't think either man initially realized that a river would be good enough to split the pot, and the rest of the table reacted at the sight of the matching full houses. Abecassis was halfway standing already, but he plopped back down to return to his stack, now slightly fatter with the addition of half the blinds and antes. He's got about 120,000.
