Norberto Charuf opened in the hijack and faced a shove for 162,000 chips from Abdelkarim Barkallah on the button. It came back to Charuf who thought about it for a minute and called:

Abdelkarim Barkallah: {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Norberto Charuf: {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Charuf had the best starting hand and didn't find any bad surprise throughout a board {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{a-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} to bust Barkallah in 16th place for DH 48,000 (€4,800).

With the eliminations of Fadhil Farag, down to less than two big blings, and TV Reality star Moundir Zoughari on the feature table, the field is now down to 20 players left.

With {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} under the gun and less than 6 big blinds, Zoughari shoved and got paid by Ahmed Bourma and OCD who bet on a flop {3-Spades}{2-Hearts}{j-Hearts} to make Bourma fold.

OCD tabled nothing else than {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and the {3-Clubs} turn and {3-Hearts} river didn't change anything, eliminating Zoughari in 22th place.
