Loeser Finds a Winner

We caught up with the action a tad late, but it looks like Willie Tann was the preflop raiser from under the gun, and both Michel Abecassis and Manig Loeser came along with him to the flop, both men with position on Tann.

The dealer spread out {8-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} , and Tann continued out with a bet of 2,300. Abecassis called quickly, and Loeser didn't waste much time calling either, and it was still three-handed to the turn.

It was the {J-Spades} , and it drew a leading check from Tann this time. Abecassis took his cue to fire 6,300 at the pot, and Loeser called again as Tann ducked out of the battle with a fold. Heads-up, the river {J-Diamonds} completed the board, and Abecassis took his pause. He counted out 11,000 chips and shuffled them for several long minutes. He slid them back to his stack, then cut them out again and re-shuffled several more times. After at least five minutes, he checked, and Loeser moved all in with a covering shove. Abecassis took just enough time to frown and scowl before uncapping his cards and waving them towards the dealer.
