Abida Now Shortest Stack

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Fahd has been able to steal some chips while Abdenbi Abida is on a slippery slope and in the last place right now. [Removed:215] raised to 52,000 from the button and Abida called out of the big blind.

On the {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop, Abida check-raised from 60,000 to 132,000 and Groppi called after having checked his own stack size. The {10-Diamonds} turn saw Abida fire 125,000 straight away and Groppi called before both checked the {2-Spades} river.

Abida announced a two and Groppi claimed the pot with {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}.

Pinho Recovers

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

First henrique Pinho pushed out [Removed:215] with an expensive bet on the river and then he raised from the small blind. Abdenbi Abida called and they checked the {Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop. On the {3-Diamonds} turn, Pinho made it 40,000 to go and Abida called.

The final community card was the {J-Hearts} and Pinho's bet of 150,000 scooped the pot without showdown.

Fahd is Back At It Again

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Henrique Pinho opened to 55,000 from the button and Abdenbi Abida in the small blind as well as Fahd in the big blind called. On the {7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop, only Fahd check-called a bet worth 50,000 by Pinho while Abida folded. The {2-Clubs} turn was checked by both remaining players and Fahd then bet the {Q-Hearts} river for 100,000 with 166,000 behind.

Pinho asked for his stack size and then pushed, Fahd snap-called with {K-Hearts}{3-Hearts}. Pinho held {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}, spiking the worst possible river card.

Fahd Doubles Again

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

While [Removed:215] and Abdenbi Abida exchanged two small pots without any big change in the counts, it was Henrique Pinho who was gunning for Fahd. The Portuguese stole the big blind of Fahd and then raised again, Fahd shoved the small blind for 172,000 and Pinho called.

Fahd: {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Pinho: {K-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}

The board ran out {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Fahd doubled once again.

Pinho Almost Unstoppable

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

From the button, Henrique Pinho raised to 55,000 and called the three-bet of Abdenbi Abida from one seat over for 105,000. On the {Q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop, Abida continued for 125,000 and was called before both checked the {7-Diamonds} turn. The dealer then burned and turned the {K-Hearts} river and Abida's bet worth 180,000 was just called by the Portuguese.

Abida showed {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Pinho scooped the pot with {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

One hand later, Pinho raised and Abida as well as [Removed:215] in the big blind called. The {9-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop saw Groppi check-call a continuation bet worth 110,000 while Abida got out of the way. The {K-Spades} turn got checked through and Groppi's bet of 170,000 on the {9-Spades} river avoided a showdown.

Fahd More Than Triples

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

[Removed:215] raised to 52,000 and Henrique Pinho called on the button before Fahd shoved his last 58,000 from the big blind. Groppi and Pinho called down and checked the entire board of {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{8-Clubs}.

Groppi showed {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Pinho had the {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Fahd's {7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} scored a triple up. Abdenbi Abida said he had folded queen-eight out of the small blind.

Soon after, Fahd also shoved from under the gun and claimed the blinds and antes, showing {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Mathieu Papineau Eliminated in 5th Place (110,000 Dirhams)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante
Mathieu Papineau
Mathieu Papineau

Abdenbi Abida opened to 60,000 from early position and Mathieu Papineau shoved out of the big blind for what looked like 450,000. Abida snap-called and Papineau was in very bad shape.

Papineau: {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Abida: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}

The flop {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Clubs} provided no sign of hope, but the {6-Clubs} turn now gave Papineau a flush draw. A blank {4-Diamonds} river sent him to the rail in 5th place and Papineau picked up 110,000 Dirhams for his efforts.

Groppi Continues Aggression

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

[Removed:215] opened to 52,000 from the button and Henrique Pinho just flat-called. Both then checked down the {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} flop and the {K-Spades} turn. A blank river saw no betting action either and Groppi scooped the pot with {A-Clubs}{Q-Spades}. Pinho mucked ace-ten.

Groppi won the blinds and antes with the very same raise before then making it 52,000 for the third time in a row. Mathieu Papineau shoved and that shut down Groppi for now.
