Hawes and Bendjilali Won’t Be Going on Vacation Together

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

While the 2024 WSOP Circuit Sanremo Main Event champion Mario Perati was taking his seat, a tournament director was called to the table.

The action had been stopped on a board of 9♦J♣3♦7♣ with 15,000 already in the pot. Azedine Bendjilali on the button bet 7,000 before Gregory Hawes in the small blind moved all-in.

Bendjilali went into the tank and, during the decision process, looked at his J♠ and exposed it enough for Hawes and the dealer to see.

The ruling allowed Bendjilali to make his decision as normal. He ultimately folded but received a two-hand penalty, while Hawes was extending his chip lead.

Player	Chips	Progress
Gregory Hawes	265,000 211,000	211,000
Azedine Bendjilali	69,000 69,000	69,000
Mario Perati	50,000 50,000	50,000
Maria Lampropulos	50,000 50,000	50,000

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The World Series of Poker (WSOP) is set to usher in a new era for its winter flagship, WSOP Paradise, after confirming the festival will move from Atlantis Paradise Island to the luxury Baha Mar resort, also in the Bahamas.

The 2026 edition, slated to run from Tuesday, December 1 to Friday, December 18, will shuffle up and deal in a new home roughly six miles up the Bahamian coast from where Austria’s Bernhard Binder announced himself to the wider poker world, capturing the record-breaking 2025 WSOP Paradise Super Main Event just a few months ago.
