Michel Abecassis opened the pot to 8,000 in early position, and the table folded around to the blinds. The man in the small blind announced an all-in reraise, and Abecassis would spend the next five minutes in the tank. He had just less than 50,000 left, so the decision was for the rest of his chips. Finally, he stuck them in there, all in and at risk.
