The screen now shows 55 players in and no bustout.
A new table has just opened.
Spanish player Javier Tsunamy seems quite active at his table.
He just took a small pot before opening again in early position to 1,200. Another Spanish player, seated just on his left, three-bet to 3,600. The player on the button called, as did Tsunamy.
On the flop 8♦7♣6♣, Tsunamy checked, his neighbor continued to 6,000, enough to take the pot immediately. He showed Q♠Q♥ to reassure his opponents.

Marrakech regular Javier Tsunamy just arrived in the field. Six tables are now in play, in eight-handed play.
PokerNews caught some action in a three-bet pot. Nico Pohl, in the big blind, squeezed to 7,000 after an early open and several calls.
Only the initial raiser called and the flop came Q♠J♦J♥. Pohl continuation-bet to 3,000 and got a call.
On the turn Q♦, both players checked.
On the river 3♥, the opening raiser bet 10,500 and Pohl thought for a while before calling with A♠A♥.
His opponent mucked and Pohl became the first chip leader of the tournament.
