Abecassis Out
Steven Merrifield raised to 4,500 from early position and Winamax Pro Michel Abecassis re-raised the pot essentially going all in. Merrifield made the small raise to put him all in flipped over his cards asking, "Do you have aces?" Abecassis said, "No, but I like my chances" and the two flipped over their cards.
Merrifield: 
Abecassis: 
The board ran out 
and Abecassis hit the rail just short of the money. Merrifield now moves up to around 170,000, more than four times what he started the day with.
