Ryan Lashmar

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With players heads up on a board reading J♦2♠6♣5♥ and about 45,000 already in the pot, Zahir Messouat checked and Yassine Adib bet 15,500. Messouat moved all in for 92,000, putting Adib into the tank.

After about 90 seconds Adib made the call with a covering stack to put Messouat at risk.

Zahir Messouat: J♣6♦
Yassine Adib: K♥J♠

Messouat was in a great position to double up with his opponent only having three outs. That all changed when the river came the K♣ giving Adib a better two pair to send Messouat to the rail in brutal fashion.

Meanwhile at another table, "mouloud" was also recently eliminated from the tournament.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Belmehel Dja Daouadji opened to 4,000 from middle position and Georges Forge, who will be celebrating his birthday in one hour according to his tablemates, moved all in for 88,500 from the hijack. Dja Daouadji thought for about 45 seconds before making the call with a covering stack.

Georges Forge: 9♠9♦
Belmehel Dja Daouadji: 10♥10♦

Forge was in rough shape against the higher pocket pair and found no help on the K♠5♠4♣ flop. The 7♠ turn did bring in some outs in the form of a flush draw and one of those outs came through on the 6♠ river, giving Forge a full double up right before his birthday while cutting the stack of Dja Daouadji in half.
