Bernard Guigon was first to act and opened for 28,000. Action folded to Sarah Herzali on the button and she moved all in for 136,000. Johan Guilbert, in the big blind, made the call and Guigon folded.
Johan Guilbert: 
Sarah Herzali: 
The board ran out 
and Herzali doubled.
Not much later, she squared off against Andrei-Salustiu Luncan. Herzali raised to 25,000 from early position and Luncan called from the big blind.
Luncan check-called a bet of 29,000 on 
and the 
fell on the turn. Luncan checked again and Herzali bet 42,000. Luncan check-raised all in for 270,000 and Herzali called instantly.

Brand New
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
We missed it, and it must have happened in the dinner break, but the 25,000-chips have been introduced. Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso has a whole stack of them, totaling to just about half of his 1 million plus stack.
Cardoso Eliminated Lewis
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Romain Lewis was down to his last 116,000 and moved in from early position. Action folded around to big blind Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso and he inquired how much it was. Upon finding out it was "just" under 10 big blinds, he called.
Romain Lewis: 
Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso: 
Lewis was leading but his hand was volatile. The 
made Cardoso the favorite. The 
on the turn left the door open for a chop, but the 
on the river was a blank and Lewis said his goodbyes.

Yassine Adib Bubbles the WPTN Marrakech High Roller
Level 19
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Yassine Adib was severely short stacked and was all in just now for his last remaining chips. He was called in two spots: Andrei-Salustiu Luncan and Akim Aouine both put him at risk.
There would be no side pot as the two of them checked down the entire board of 
.
Akim Aouine showed 
for not much of anything. Andrei-Salustiu Luncan, however, tabled 
for top-two and that would mean the end of it for Adib who open mucked .
"Félicitations à tous" ("Congratulations everyone") Adib said as he made his exit.
17 players remain, all guaranteed MAD 35,000 (±€3,202/±$3,608).

Still 18 players remain, 1 player is to bust before the cheques are handed out. They are on a 60-minute dinner break. One player presumably will not have a great deal of appetite, as he only has a single blind left. Back in one hour.
