Abecassis to the Rail
Niveau 5
: 200/400, 50 ante
Long-time French pro Michel Abecassis was forced to the rail in one of the first hands of the level. After Jean-Paul Zaffran opened with pocket kings, Abecassis shoved with pocket sevens for 25 big blinds. Zaffran had an easy call and no sweat on an ace-high bord that featured zero help to Abecassis.
