Lakhdari Eliminated by El Ouahdani Amid Confusion

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Yassine El Ouahdani

There was a small crowd gathering around table 57 and the floor had been called as a {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Hearts} turn had seen Omar Lakhdari grab his entire stack and move it forward, after which the dealer announced all-in.

Yassine El Ouahdani called and that's where the tricky part started. Lakhdari had pushed forward around 18,000 but apparently kept two T-5,000 chips in his palm to cause some commotion. Some tussle back and forth followed with Lakhdari insisting to call a floor who spoke French. Lakhdari had not objected with the all-in by the dealer but argued with the floor anyways before he ultimately committed his entire stack to unleash the following showdown.

Omar Lakhdari: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Yassine El Ouahdani: {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}

The river was the {4-Spades} and that spelled the end for Lakhdari.
