Sarah Herzali entered the tournament maybe 10 minutes ago and that was not even enough time to take a picture. Just now she walked out of the tournament room, her seat was empty. Ayoub Khlifi was one seat over and followed straight away to make it two seat open in a row.
Out of the 197 entries, 48 consist of reentries and latest players in need of purchasing another bullet (again) included Rodrigo Strong, Guillaume Diaz, Smain Mamouni and Thierry Gogniat. Less than one hour remains until the dinner break at the end of level nine and that is also the cut for the end of registration.
Four players in total invested 2,500 chips to see a flop of 
and Ekrem Sanioglu then bet from the hijack for 6,000. Only Barny Boatman called before both players checked down the 
turn. On the 
river, Sanioglu checked and Boatman then bet 15,000.
"Enjoy", Sanioglu said to his opponent before openly mucking 
, Boatman returned the favor and revealed 
for a busted flush draw before grabbing the chips.
Chip leader Selim Oulmekki raised from under the gun and picked up three callers to see a flop of 
. Zakaria then bet 2,000 and two opponents called, Oulmekki folded. On the turn, the action was checked to Zakaria and his 3,000 was only called by Pirault. The 
river paired the board for the second time and Pirault checked, then faced the bet worth 11,000 by Zakaria.
That was more than what the Frenchman had left and Pirault ended up folding.
After a raise to 1,800 from under the gun and two callers, Hafid Kinany squeezed to 5,200 out of the small blind and the initial raiser folded. Both other players called and Kinany's continuation bet worth 8,000 on the 
flop got through without any further resistance.
Merlow Aiach defended his big blind against the raise of Mouad and check-called one bet before the duo then checked down the 
board. Aiach announced "nothing" and showed 
for a busted gutshot whereas Mouad's claimed the small pot.
It was Selim Oulmekki who busted Rebecca Gerin not long ago and increased his stack nicely. The Frenchman flopped a set of kings on 
and Gerin then check-raised all in for just under average stack on the 
turn with 
for a huge draw. However, the river blanked and that sent Gerin to the rail.
Level: 8
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 75
Isabel Baltazar, Paul-Francois Tedeschi and Cheng-Wei Yin have all been able to increase their stack. Especially the Belgian received the image as constant aggressor at his table and raising before then calling a three-bet with 
surely does qualify for that.
Yin then found a flop of 
for two pair, but two diamonds also put a flush draw on the board. Yin bet 3,000 and called a raise to 15,000 before the 
on the turn saw his opponent get it in with 
for the draw. Yin's two pair held up and that was the biggest pot as of late for the Belgian.
Jerome Sgorrano tried to take down a three-way pot on the 
river with a bet of 3,600 into about twice as much in the middle of the table. Two seats over, Pont eventually called after plenty of consideration and then revealed 
as winning hand to let the Belgian drop a few chips.
