Abitbol Makes Tough Call to Rocket Up the Counts
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
A pot of 35,000 had already developed by the turn with the board showing 
when Yigit Aksoy moved all in for 37,000.
Raphael Abitbol went into the tank for several minutes before eventually sticking in a call. Aksoy showed 
for a pair of fives and flush draw, while Abitbol had 
for top pair.
The 
on the river was safe for Abitbol to bust Aksoy as the Frenchman is now sitting on one of the largest stacks in the room.
"Good call, sir," a table mate said as Abitbol stacked the massive pot.
According to Abitbol following the hand, he three-bet before the flop, bet after the flop, then called when Aksoy raised.
