Oulmekki New Chip Leader

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Selim Oulmekki
Selim Oulmekki

It was Selim Oulmekki who busted Rebecca Gerin not long ago and increased his stack nicely. The Frenchman flopped a set of kings on {K-}{7-}{6-Clubs} and Gerin then check-raised all in for just under average stack on the {10-Spades} turn with {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} for a huge draw. However, the river blanked and that sent Gerin to the rail.

Aiach Loses a Small Pot

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Merlow Aiach defended his big blind against the raise of Mouad and check-called one bet before the duo then checked down the {9-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs} board. Aiach announced "nothing" and showed {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a busted gutshot whereas Mouad's {K-Clubs}{7-Clubs} claimed the small pot.

Easy Game for Kinany

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

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 {K-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop got through without any further resistance.

Pirault in Trouble

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Chip leader Selim Oulmekki raised from under the gun and picked up three callers to see a flop of {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}. Zakaria then bet 2,000 and two opponents called, Oulmekki folded. On the {3-Clubs} turn, the action was checked to Zakaria and his 3,000 was only called by Pirault. The {3-Diamonds} 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.

Boatman Shows Bluff

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Four players in total invested 2,500 chips to see a flop of {10-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Ekrem Sanioglu then bet from the hijack for 6,000. Only Barny Boatman called before both players checked down the {8-Spades} turn. On the {J-Spades} river, Sanioglu checked and Boatman then bet 15,000.

"Enjoy", Sanioglu said to his opponent before openly mucking {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}, Boatman returned the favor and revealed {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for a busted flush draw before grabbing the chips.

Sgorrano "On Tilt"

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante

Fresh off paying Pont a mere 8,800 on the {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{9-Spades} river and then mucking when his opponent showed {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} for a full house, Jerome Sgorrano faced four limps worth 600 chips each. Sgorrano moved all in and Dominique Terzian was the last to fold his {5-Clubs}.

Cheng-Wei Yin walked over and Sgorrano told him to reveal one of his cards. "This is the good one," Sgorrano joked and the {5-Diamonds} was revealed. The Belgian then flipped over the {K-Diamonds} also and Terzian showed his {K-Clubs} with both players "swapping" the hole cards to have Terzian "folding" pocket kings.
