Three-Bets Not Working for Hammann

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Manuel Alvarez opened to 800 from early position, and Benjamin Hammann immediately three-bet to 2,000 from the next seat over. However, his aggression was bested by Alvaro Ramajo, who made it 5,200 from the hijack. Alvarez and Hammann quickly folded.

Alvarez raised to 800 again on the next deal, and Hamman continued to make it 2,000. There was no four-bet this time as Nicolas Chronis called from the small blind before Alvarez stuck around.

Chronis and Alvarez called a bet of 1,400 on the 10♥9♠4♦ flop before the 2♠ turn and 7♣ river checked through to showdown.

Chronis had a huge hand in AxKx but his cautious possibly cost him the pot as Alavrez had a pair of nines with A♦9♦. Hammann couldn't beat either hand and mucked.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Jaber Zerioh opened to 700 from early position, and was called by Hugo Blondel from the next seat over. Nicolas Chronis, Olivier Paris and Loic Lecharny came along from the button and the blinds.

Zerioh continued for 1,300 on the K♦Q♠7♥ flop. This only pushed out Lecharny. However, Zerioh's 8,000 bet on the 8♣ turn earned him the pot.

Isabel Baltazar

France’s Isabel Baltazar became the latest champion at UDSO Marrakech on Thursday, taking down the UDSO High Roller for 523,000 MAD (€49,162). Baltazar became the second women to pick up a trophy in Morocco, after Aurelie Reard won the Warm Up earlier in the series.

The most expensive tournament of the festival drew 193 entries to generate a prize pool of 2,475,200 MAD (approx. €232,700), and has offered up the biggest first-place prize so far.

Baltazar began the day as chip leader and went wire-to-wire to claim the championship belt, marking the third-biggest score of her career and her first recorded win since 2015. The result also moves her career live earnings past $1.2 million.

Gregory Dupuy collected 365,000 MAD for his runner-up finish, while recent EPT Barcelona Main Event 11th-place finisher Yohan Rascar took third place for 242,000 MAD.

Jugastru Goes Too Big

Olivier Le Moullec raised to 500 from the hijack. Jaeck Yann and Cristina Jugastru called from the button and big blind.

It checked through to the turn for the board to read 9♣8♦2♦9♠. Jugastru led out for 2,300, but regretted it immediately.

"Too much! I meant 1,300," she laughed. Le Moullec immediately got out of the way before Yann pondered briefly before ditching his 6♣6♦.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Khalil Tazi and Ismail Fath-Eddine exchanged raises preflop that saw the latter all-in for their last 29,300. Tazi had him covered by around 18,000.

Ismail Fath-Eddine: A♦J♦All in
Khalil Tazi: 10♠10♦

Fath-Eddine took the lead on the A♥8♠5♠ flop, and the 2♣ turn and 9♥ river ensured he wasn't the day's first elimination.

On the next deal, Arthur Navellou opened to 1,100 from the button. Fath-Eddine and Tazi called from the blinds.

The 4♠3♦3♥ flop checked through to the 5♣ turn. It checked to Navellou, who bet 1,200. Only Tazi called.

Tazi then snap-folded to a bet of 2,700 on the K♦ river.
