Abercassis Makes Almost 10,000 First Hand

Shane Schleger opened to 300 from UTG, Jerome Zerbib raised to 800 behind him before Michel Abercassis 4-bet to 1,825. Everyone else folded, including Schleger folded but Zerbib made the call to give us a fairly large pot this early on the tournament.

Both players checked the innocuous looking flop of {5-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} before Zerbib bet 2,100 on the {4-Clubs} turn. Abercassis made the call and the river was the {7-Diamonds}, now Zerbib now bet 4,500 and Abercassis instantly called, Zerbib reluctantly showed a missed {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts} but Abercassis showed a surprising {A-Spades} {J-Spades} which raised a few eyebrows at the table.
