The players have returned from dinner and cards are back in the air.
The day is scheduled to end when 16 players remain.
Mehdi Senhaji opened to 24,500 from the hijack before Denis Vladimirov raised to 82,000, leaving 1,000 behind. It folded back to Senhaji, who called.
The last chips went in on the Q♣2♠2♣ flop.
Denis Vladimirov: AxKx
Mehdi Senhaji: KxQx
Senhaji spiked his three-outer to move ahead, and secured the bust out after the 3♠6♠ runout.
Mohamed-Said Taghla raised to 25,000 from middle position and called when Mounir Khoddar three-bet to 100,000 on his direct left.
Taghla, with around 600,000, checked on the 8♥5♦4♦ flop. Khoddar then just moved all in as the bigger stack. Taghla thought about it briefly before folding.
Khoddar then showed he had the goods, making a set with his 8♠8♣.
Action was caught in a big pot between Hamza Bounnit and Said Sadallah. There was around 350,000 in the middle on the 10♠A♥J♣3♥4♣ board. Sadallah, with around 220,000, checked from the small blind and then faced a decision for his tournament life when Bounnit jammed as the bigger stack.
While Sadallah was deep into the tank, another hand was taking place on Table #10.
Kelevra jammed for 33,000 from under the gun and Marcin Rejmak called from the big blind.
Kelevra: Q♦9♠
Marcin Rejmak: Q♣6♣
Kelevra's superior queen held out to double, as the board came J♦4♥3♠10♥5♣.
Sadallah remained in the tank after Kelevra's double took place, and the clock was eventually called. The 30 second countdown began, and he folded about halfway through.
