Herzali's Stack is Growing

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Sarah Herzali
Sarah Herzali

Bernard Guigon was first to act and opened for 28,000. Action folded to Sarah Herzali on the button and she moved all in for 136,000. Johan Guilbert, in the big blind, made the call and Guigon folded.

Johan Guilbert: {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}
Sarah Herzali: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Herzali doubled.

Not much later, she squared off against Andrei-Salustiu Luncan. Herzali raised to 25,000 from early position and Luncan called from the big blind.

Luncan check-called a bet of 29,000 on {6-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and the {A-Hearts} fell on the turn. Luncan checked again and Herzali bet 42,000. Luncan check-raised all in for 270,000 and Herzali called instantly.

Andrei-Salustiu Luncan: {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}
Sarah Herzali: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The river was the meaningless {3-Spades} and Herzali knocked out her opponent.

Brand New

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

We missed it, and it must have happened in the dinner break, but the 25,000-chips have been introduced. Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso has a whole stack of them, totaling to just about half of his 1 million plus stack.

Cardoso Eliminated Lewis

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Romain Pierre Lewis
Romain Pierre Lewis

Romain Lewis was down to his last 116,000 and moved in from early position. Action folded around to big blind Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso and he inquired how much it was. Upon finding out it was "just" under 10 big blinds, he called.

Romain Lewis: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}
Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso: {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Lewis was leading but his hand was volatile. The {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} made Cardoso the favorite. The {3-Diamonds} on the turn left the door open for a chop, but the {9-Clubs} on the river was a blank and Lewis said his goodbyes.

Yassine Adib Bubbles the WPTN Marrakech High Roller

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Yassine Adib was severely short stacked and was all in just now for his last remaining chips. He was called in two spots: Andrei-Salustiu Luncan and Akim Aouine both put him at risk.

There would be no side pot as the two of them checked down the entire board of {A-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

Akim Aouine showed {J-Spades}{3-Hearts} for not much of anything. Andrei-Salustiu Luncan, however, tabled {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for top-two and that would mean the end of it for Adib who open mucked {2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}.

"Félicitations à tous" ("Congratulations everyone") Adib said as he made his exit.

17 players remain, all guaranteed MAD 35,000 (±€3,202/±$3,608).

Dinner Break

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Still 18 players remain, 1 player is to bust before the cheques are handed out. They are on a 60-minute dinner break. One player presumably will not have a great deal of appetite, as he only has a single blind left. Back in one hour.

Guilbert Doubles on the Bubble

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Johan Guilbert got his chips in before the flop holding {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. He got looked up by a player holding {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. While some of the other players were asking the dealer to put a nine out, Guilbert eventually doubled his 105,000-stack after the board ran out {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{A-Spades}. The bubble continues.

Down to 18 Players, Bubble Time

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop of {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts} we saw the small blind and Salem Sahed in the big blind both check. Henrique Pinho, in the hijack, made a bet of 46,000 and the small blind folded. Sahed called.

The {7-Clubs} hit the turn and Sahed checked again. Pinho bet 70,000 and Sahed moved all in for 190,000 or so. Pinho instantly called.

Salem Sahed: {4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Henrique Pinho: {5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The river {Q-Spades} couldn't change a thing and Sahed made his exit in 19th place. Down to 18 players now, one off the money.
