Iman Gazorishandiz raised from the hijack, Pierrick Burdan three-bet jammed for 8,000, from the button, and Gazorishandiz called.

Pierrick Burdan: A♠10♠ All in
Iman Gazorishandiz: K♣9♦

Burdan had the best of it preflop and the 7♠6♣3♦ flop proved no threat. However, the K♥ turn put Gazorishandiz in the lead and the Q♥ river confirmed Burdan's departure.

Abdelhakim Zoufri moved all in from under the gun for 16,500, and the action was folded to Tal Hart, who called. Everyone else folded.

Abdelhakim Zoufri: J♣Q♦ All in
Tal Hart: A♥8♥

Zoufri needed to hit to stay in the tournament, and he managed to do so with a flop of 9♠Q♣7♦. The 5♠ on the turn gave Hart some extra outs, but the K♠ on the river was not one of them, and Zoufri secured the double up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Julio Carvalho Ribeiro made a min-raise from under the gun, getting calls from Iman Gazorishandiz on the button and Pierrick Burdan in the big blind.

The trio checked on the 9♣6♠6♣ flop, and the 10♠ fell on the turn. Burdan checked and Ribeiro made a delayed continuation bet of 8,500, which was only called by Gazorishandiz.

The river was the 4♠, and Ribeiro put out a bet of 22,500. Gazorishandiz went into the tank but ultimately decided to fold.
