Abeca-Ceasing To Exist

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Michel Abecassis opened the pot with a raise from middle position, and Tayfur Dag three-bet to 3,800. When it came back around to Abecassis, he shoved in for what looked like 19,725. Dag spent a long while in the tank before surrendering his cards, and we turned our attention away from the table.

Less than a minute later, though, Abecassis came walking past us and toward the rail, and we spun our head back around to see his former chair empty of both he and his chips. We're not sure exactly what happened, but Michel Abecassis won't be sticking around long enough for his dinner break tonight.
