Elie Abdallah went all-in from a late position with a hand that does not fare very well in a showdown. However, with a short stack and decent fold equity, Abdallah decided to put maximum pressure on the blinds, which he needed for himself. Giovanni Giannitti was waiting for him with a big ace, so Abdallah had to rely on plan B – connect with the board.
