Subtracting from the Abacus

French poker veteran Michel Abecassis has not had the best start to this year's home-turf EPT.

We found him earlier in the day calling a bet of 800 on an {8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop, but folding to a 1,200 bet on the {q-Spades} turn. His opponent showed him the {k-Clubs} for some reason. Just a small hit, but it can't have done much for the confidence of "The Abacus".

And just now he suffered a rather larger hit. We only caught the action on the river, the board reading {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{j-Spades}{k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}. There was around 13,000 in the pot, and the gentleman in the hijack was betting out 6,000. Abecassis tanked up long enough to have the clock called on him, but eventually he gave it up and was left with 17,000, roughly half his starting stack.
