Chip leader Ghali Hsissen opened to 3,000 from under the gun and called when Brelanciaga jammed for 17,000 from the big blind.
Brelanciaga: A♦K♣
Ghali Hsissen: K♠Q♠
Hsissen paired his queen on the Q♥5♣2♠ flop to reverse his domination. Things got worse for Brelanciaga on the 5♠ turn before the J♣ river sealed their exit.
With the pot, Hsissen climbed above 460,000 mark. On one table over though is Salah Eddine Taleb, who is challenging Hsissen at the top of the counts. Taleb has been a big stack all day, and now sits on 430,000.

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.
In the 34th episode, Connor talks with WSOP free-to-play app ambassador Sam Abernathy about growing up in Georgia, studying design, the similarities between gymnastics and poker, finishing third in the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event, and a notorious slow roll she suffered in that event.
Abernathy also talks about first getting into poker through the WSOP Play app before becoming an ambassador years later, motherhood and being married to fellow poker player Lautaro Guerra, who finished 15th in this year's WSOP Main Event for $450,000.
Belmehdi opened to 4,000 from middle position and was called by Fabrice Bruno. Florian Frere then moved all-in for 10,000 from the button. Belmhedi reraised to 30,000 and Bruno stuck around.
Belmehdi check-jammed as the bigger stack on the 8♦7♣6♥ flop. Bruno had bet 20,000 and called off for 50,500 total.
Florian Frere: A♦6♦
Fabrice Bruno: 9♥9♣
Belmehdi: A♠A♣
The 5♠ came in on the turn to give Bruno the straight, and he hooked in the pot after the 2♥ river.
