Abdullah Akbarpoor Eliminated in 6th Place (265,000 MAD)
Abdullah Akbarpoor moved all in for his final 500,000 with A♥3♣ from the cutoff. Hammer called from the small blind, with Q♣7♠ and Redwan Ferman did the same from the big blind, holding 4♣2♦.
The two then seemingly agreed to check down the side pot, with Ferman checking both in the dark, and out the turn. He and Hammer then both began tapping the table rapidly, essentially checking in the dark to the river.
The board ran out A♦5♣9♥3♦10♠ and Hammer checked for a third time on the river, but Ferman only just stopped himself from doing so, as he realised he had made the nuts. He moved all in, and Hammer snap-folded. Akbarpoor's two pair was no good, and he was eliminated from the tournament.
Akbarpoor tabled two pair, but Ferman had turned the nuts for the knockout.
Benjamin Hammann made a comment indicating his disapproval of what he had just seen take place.
