On Table #11, the action folded to El Mehdi Mbarek in the small blind who raised to 7,000. Tom Seck three-bet to 21,000 and snap-called when Mbarek jammed for around 52,000.
El Mehdi Mbarek: K♠K♣
Tom Seck: J♣J♥
Mbarek's kings held out and he doubled up after the Q♣8♠2♥Q♦Q♥ runout.
On another table, Florence Allera and Abdelkarim Mahieddine had their cards on their backs. Allera had around 84,500 and had Mahieddine slightly covered.
Mahieddine was ahead with JxJx, but Allera's A♥Q♣ paired up on the runout to scoop the pot and secure the bust out.
