Level 40
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Action folded around to Mehdi Chaoui in the small blind, who shoved all in for 6,700,000 chips. His opponent in the big blind, Issam Benhaddou, had 25,000,000 chips behind. He made the call and two players flipped their cards.
Mehdi Chaoui: 8?8?
Issam Benhaddou: A?7?
Chaoui was ahead with pocket eights, but the board ran out 7?K?9?7?Q?. Benhaddou paired up his sevens on the flop. Chaoui looked unfazed. But the turn brought Benhaddou trips and the river came a blank.
Benhaddou scooped over the chips. Chaoui got up and shook hands with the other players. He was eliminated in 5th place for 270,000 dirham.
