Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante
Sarah Herzali
Sarah Herzali

Sarah Herzali opened preflop in early position and Rab Ait Abdelmalek called in the button before calling again a continuation-bet on the {7-Diamonds}{q-}{7-Clubs} flop.

The duo has checked the turn {a-Diamonds} and the Team Pro PMU Poker check-folded after a bet of 2700 chips on the {7-Hearts}.

A very small hit for the stack of one of the few women already in the field. Sarah and her opponent have more than the starting stack after two hours of play.

Strike

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

David Tavernier is our first chipleader.

The frenchman has busted two players during the same hand. Laurent Lavige was down to 7000 chips and elected to go all-in on a {9-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop with {j-}{9-}. Tarek Omri has called with {7-}{8-} and decided to overcall for his last chips when David pushed for a total of 16 000 chips.

Tarek revealed his open-ended straight draw and he was trailing behind the {q-Diamonds}{10-} of Tavernier. The turn {10-} and the river {a-} changed nothing for the two players at risk...

Re-Entry for Tadini

Level 2 : 100/100, 100 ante

Anas Tadini is an eminent figure of the Casino de Marrakech. The Morrocan has won everything here and he is a fearless player... but for now he is the first casualty of the day.

Down to 4000 chips, Anas has raised {7-}{9-} and was call two times. He barreled on the flop {2-}{6-}{7-} and no opponent has folded. Tadini went all-in on the turn {8-}, but Nathan X was just waiting for that with {j-}{8-}. The river didn't change a thing and Anas is alradey on his way to the cashier for a second bullet...
