Anouar Mehlil Eliminated in 10th Place (€11,104)

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Anouar Mehlil
Anouar Mehlil

The new level had just begun and Diego Aranzadi opened to 85,000 chips. Anouar Mehlil moved all in for 825,000 and had almost the same stack as his opponent, though one or two big blinds less. Aranzadi took a long time before making the call and it was a coin flip:

Mehlil: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}
Aranzadi: {9-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}

The roller coaster board of {A-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {7-Clubs} {9-Spades} set the official final table and there is now a break. Furthermore, the players will change the room as well for the ultimate showdown in Marrakech.

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Ondrej Milabersky - 9th place
Ondrej Milabersky - 9th place

Antoine Rahal opened to 100,000 from under the gun and Ondrej Milabersky three-bet to 220,000 from middle position. The action went back to Rahal who moved all in and the Czech quickly called.

Milabersky: {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}
Rahal: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds} {6-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} {8-Hearts} and upon counting both stacks, Milabersky was covered by less than two big blinds. The Czech is the first player to leave the final table whereas Rahal is now almost even with Matas Cimbolas in joint third place.

Fahd Kaabat Eliminated in 8th Place (€15,997)

Level 27 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Fahd Kaabat - 8th place
Fahd Kaabat - 8th place

Fahd Kaabat open-shoved for around 300,000 in chips and Antoine Rahal reshoved from three seats over to isolate successfully, Matas Cimbolas mucked the {9-Spades} {3-Hearts} and was suspecting pocket aces to be in the showdown.

Kaabat: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}
Rahal: {A-Clubs} {A-Hearts}

The {Q-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {6-Hearts} flop gave Kaabat the lead and his rail erupted. The {K-Spades} turn bricked, but the dealer then burned and turned the {A-Spades} river let the better hand preflop hold up.

Ramona Gallardo - 7th place

Miroslav Alilovic opened to 180,000 and Antoine Rahal three-bet to 300,000 before Ramona Gallardo four-bet shoved for 550,000. Both Alilovic and Rahal called and then checked down the {J-Spades} {9-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {10-Hearts} board.

Gallardo's {4-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} were beaten by Alilovic's {7-Clubs} {7-Hearts} and Rahal's {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts} was the third-best hand.

Najib Bennis Eliminated in 6th Place (€24,937)

Level 30 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante
Najib Bennis - 6th place
Najib Bennis - 6th place

Miroslav Alilovic opened and then called the three-bet shove of Najib Bennis for around 2 million in chips. It was a setup of pocket pairs, as Bennis was at risk with the {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs} and found himself dominated by the {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} of the Frenchman.

The board ran out {A-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} and Alilovic took down yet another massive pot to increase the lead significantly.

Diego Aranzadi - 5th place

Antoine Rahal opened from the button to 270,000 and Diego Aranzadi moved all in for 950,000 in chips from one seat over. Matas Cimbolas folded in the big blind and Rahal quickly called.

Rahal: {A-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}
Aranzadi: {K-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

On the {5-Clubs} {10-Spades} {3-Clubs} flop, Aranzadi's rail didn't really decide whether or not they preferred a king or queen to come. Both opponents shook hands and the {10-Diamonds} turn as well as {5-Spades} river bricked, sending Aranzadi to the rail in 5th place.

Matas Cimbolas - 4th place

Matas Cimbolas announced all in as first to act for 1,180,000 and Ricardo Manquant moved all in himself from the button, scaring off both players in the blinds.

Cimbolas had the {Q-Hearts} {J-Spades} but failed to improve against the {4-Diamonds} {4-Spades} of the Frenchman with the board running out {2-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}.

Antoine Rahal raised to 300,000 from the button and Ricardo Manquant called in the small blind before Miroslav Alilovic three-bet to 810,000 out of the big blind. Rahal shoved for 2,820,000 and Manquant got out of the way whereas Alilovic called:

Rahal: {Q-Clubs} {8-Clubs}
Alilovic: {10-Spades} {10-Clubs}

The player at risk was drawing dead after the {A-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades} turn and the meaningless {2-Diamonds} river was just a formality.

Level 34 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Miroslav Alilovic

Miroslav Alilovic never recovered from the previous big hand and folded almost exclusively. Down to less than seven big blinds, he pushed in the dark and Ricardo Manquant called.

Alilovic: {J-Hearts} {8-Hearts}
Manquant: {K-Clubs} {9-Spades}

The board ran out {2-Hearts} {3-Spades} {Q-Spades} {2-Spades} {6-Diamonds} and the winner was crowned at 5 a.m. local time! Alilovic has to settle for second place and takes home 850,000 Dirhams, which equals to roughly €79,985.
