Fernando Pons
Fernando Pons

Fernando Pons moved all in for 158,000 from under the gun under on the outer table. The action reached Perez in the big blind and he snap-called after peeking at his cards.

Fernando Pons: {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}
Perez: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

"He has kings, I am dead," Pons said in Spanish to his rail. The board came {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and both Spaniards shook hands. Pons takes home MAD 52,000 for his efforts and Perez bumped his stack sligthly before adding "that's poker, there are no friends."

Linard and Mamouni Build Stacks

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

Over on the feature table, Pablo raised from the cutoff and was called by Louis Linard in the big blind. The latter check-called a bet of 30,000 on the {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and did so again for 56,000 on the {3-Spades} turn. The {5-Hearts} river was checked and Linard won the pot with the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

On the outer table, Anas Belatik raised to 41,000 from the button and Smain Mamouni called in the big blind. Mamouni check-raised the flop of {A-Spades}{9-Spades}{9-Diamonds} from 40,000 to 105,000 and Belatik called before Mamouni's bet of 190,000 on the {J-Spades} turn forced a fold.

Soon after, Tsunamy three-bet all in for fewer than 13 big blinds and Mamouni called with the {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}. Tsunamy had {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and they chopped it up after a board of {A-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades}{Q-Clubs}.

Tedder a Chip Millionaire

Level 23 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

The first two big pots played over on the feature table were both won by Elizabeth Tedder. She first took on Anthony Cruz with both investing 100,000 on the {Q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{Q-Spades} turn before the [8dy] river was checked. Cruz showed {7-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and Tedder had that beat with {A-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}.

Soon after, a pot of more than 380,000 emerged until the {A-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} river and Tedder bet 135,000 against Louis Linard. The Frenchman folded and Tedder bumped her stack above one million.
