Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Mohamed Aissaoui raised to 1,200,000 under the gun, after which the action folded to Ahmed Ibrahimi in the small blind.

He jammed all in for 4,150,000 and got snapped off once the action was back to Aissaoui.

Ahmed Ibrahimi: A♥K♥ All in
Mohamed Aissaoui: A♦A♣

"Watch out, I run good," Ibrahimi warned Aissaoui.

However, the 5♣Q♦Q♣10♠4♣ runout left Ibrahimi with ace-high, bested by the pocket aces of his opponent.

He left the tournament area in seventh place, picking up his cash of nearly 50 buy-ins.

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Mohamed Aissaoui open-jammed his button for 6,150,000. Diego Beirigo quickly folded the small blind, but Jorge Pereira spent a few minutes tanking in the big blind.

"Let's gamble," he eventually announced as he called off his stack of 1,875,000 to put himself at risk.

Jorge Pereira: K♦Q♥ All in
Mohamed Aissaoui: A♣3♣

Aissaoui's ace was ahead, and Pereira's outs were diminished as the 2♥5♣8♣ flop gave his opponent a flush draw. The 6♦ turn did little for either player, but the Q♣ river saw Aissaoui hit his flush.

Aissaoui knocked out Pereira from the final table while he chipped up to a near-average stack.

Piotr Druzba: J♠7♠ All in
Diego Beirigo: 10♠10♦

Druzba needed some help from the board to survive, but he whiffed the A♦9♥6♥Q♣4♥ runout, Beirigo's pocket tens were good enough to take the pot and make Druzba the first player to depart the final table.

Nils Veipans: 8♠8♦ All in
Carlos Egea: A♣Q♦

Veipans was flipping for his tournament life and when the flop came 4♦9♣Q♠, Egea took a big lead. The 5♦9♦ runout did not save Veipans, who said his goodbyes in tenth place.
