Already Seven Re-Entries

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

Seven players forked out €1,350 or 15,000 Dirhams to re-enter the competition after losing their stack of 30,000 chips previously. Among them is Guillaume Diaz, who opened to 700 and got two callers in the seats over before the player in the big blind raised to 3,800.

Diaz folded and only the player on the button called. After a flop of {7-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {J-Hearts} the player in the big blind continued for 5,800 and was called before shoving the {J-Spades} turn and taking down the pot uncontested. This shall be an interesting table for Diaz to run up a stack.

Darcourt Back In

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

After a raise to 1,200 by Brahim Oubella, Guillaume Darcourt called from one seat over and [Removed:253] three-bet to 3,600 from the button. Both initial opponents called to see a flop of {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} and the action was checked to Jenner. The Frenchman bet 5,100 and called a check-raise to 14,100 by Oubella in the hijack whereas Darcourt folded.

On the {5-Hearts} turn, it was 22,000 to go by Oubella and Jenner tank-folded.

Darcourt Shoves; Oubella Chops

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

After a flop of {6-Clubs} {2-Spades} {J-Spades} and plenty of preflop action, the opponent of Guillaume Darcourt bet 9,000 and the Frenchman moved all in for just over 22,000 chips to enforce a fold.

Shortly after, Brahim Oubella opened to 2,000 and the very same player made it 8,000 to go. Oubella quickly checked for the stack of the opponent and then called before both checked down the {6-Hearts} {6-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} board. Oubella's {A-Spades} {J-Spades} and the {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} of his opponent chopped the pot.

No Time to Celebrate

Level 6 : 150/300, 50 ante

Sonny Franco scooped the WSOP Circuit Ring not long ago after his victory in Event #7 and jumped straight into Day 1a of the Main Event. His run good was destined to continue after flopping a flush with {K-Spades} {J-Spades} and having a short stack all in. The opponent only had the {A-Spades} for the nut flush draw, however the dealer burned and turned a fourth spade to let Franco slip below half the starting stack.
