Lakhdari Still Dominating

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Omar Lakhdari limped with pocket kings and the player from one seat over raised to 3,600 before the action went back to Lakhdari, clicking it to 12,000. It was called and both headed to a queen-high flop and Lakhdari check-raised all in for more than 110,000 chips, showing who the boss is at the table.

The opponent called with {A-} {Q-} for top pair and top kicker, but Lakhdari held up after two bricks on turn and river.

Time for Dinner

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The players have been asked to facilitate the race of the T-25 chips, who will be removed from the tournament during the dinner break. Once that is done on all tables, the players get on their 60-minute dinner break and take advantage of the free buffet at the Casino de Marrakech.

Kondah Arrives and Doubles

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Abdelhadi Kondah had just entered and played two hands when he doubled up under special circumstances. After a three-way turn of a {2-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} board, Kondah had made a straight and shoved into a bet of 2,000 and a raise to 7,000. Another opponent also reshoved with {J-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} for two pair and the third player in the hand somehow let go of {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}.

Kondah had the {3-Hearts} {5-Spades} for a straight and held up after the {A-Hearts} river.

Rohr Also Back at Starting Stack

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Jean-Philippe Rohr was one of the fellow short stacks for quite some time and just doubled up with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} against {A-} {J-}. The opponent had spiked a jack after the preflop all in situation, but the dealer came to the rescue and delivered a runner runner straight for the Frenchman to let the better hand preflop hold up.

Diaz Gets One

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

After a raise and two calls, Guillaume Diaz three-bet to 5,800 and was called by all three opponents to see a flop oif {7-Clubs} {8-Spades} {K-Clubs}. An opponent in middle position bet 7,500 and only Diaz called before the {Q-Hearts} turn was checked to the Winamax Pro. He bet 11,000 with another 26,000 behind and that did the trick to avoid a showdown.

Sudden Rush

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The screens had been stuck at less than 300 entrants for Day 1b for the past hour but suddenly it shows 307 now, which is also a result of the upcoming end of the re-entry period. With 123 re-entries in total now and about 20 minutes remaining in the last level before the dinner break, the record of 502 entries in total remains in sight but becomes a challenge.

Medjhaed Melted in Bad Beat Fashion

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

Hassan Lamzariki just exploded and showed all his emotions after the dealer had given him a crucial pot and knocked out Kader Medjhaed. [Removed:253] had opened and Medjhaed just flat-called. Lamzariki then three-bet to 3,500 and was called by the player on the button as well as Jenner.

Medjhead four-bet to almost 8,000 and was called by Lamzariki and the player on the button. On a flop of {Q-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds}, Medjhaed made a continuation bet for 5,400 and Lamzariki raised to 15,000, scaring off the third player in the hand. Medjhaed shoved with {K-Hearts} {K-Clubs} and was way ahead of the {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} of his opponent. Unfortunately the {A-Hearts} arrived on the turn and the {2-Spades} river was a brick, sending Medjhaed to the rail in bad beat fashion the next hand after losing his last two big blinds.

Number Four

Level 9 : 300/600, 75 ante

The last level of the re-entry period has just started and Anaras Tadini received fresh chips, still next to Jessy Marillaud. However, it was now on table 1 and Marillaud had been moved to said table and Tadini got busted and reseated on bullet number four. The screens show 117 entries in total and the attendance of Day 1b is now at 297 entries.

Olivier Baeten
Olivier Baeten

Fahd Kabat raised to 1,625 and Olivier Baeten moved all in for his last 13,500 chips with {K-Clubs} {K-Spades}. His opponent tanked for a few minutes until the Belgian apparently gave away some weakness and was called by Kabat with {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}. The board ran out {8-Clubs} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} and that was it for the Belgian, who won the seat in a Satellite last night.
