With the 
already being spread in front of the dealer, Bruno Soutavong made a bet of 6,900 for just under pot size and enforced a fold from his opponent. After the Frenchman was done with stacking, he put the sunglasses straight back on.
Toni Dieguez had been playing the Omaha Side Event until now but with three tables remaining, the Spaniard had busted and registered straight away for Day 1b of the Main Event.
Level: 7
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 50
Let's have ourselves 15 minutes away from the tables.
Hafid Kinany left the tournament area quite upset after the very last hand in level 6. On a flop of 
, the Moroccan bet 1,600 and faced a min-raise to 3,200 before tossing in another three T-1,000 chips. As that wasn't a valid raise, the floor was called and it was more than the 50%.
Thus, it was ruled to be yet another min-raise and Kinany had to make it 4,800 to go. His opponent called and the 
turn as well as 
river were checked down. The opponent showed 
for two pair and Kinany's 
were no good.
Joining the action on a three-way turn of 
, Anas Tadini bet 2,500 into two opponents and received two reluctant calls. The 
on the river triggered a check by the first opponent and a bet by Tadini for 7,000, which was eventually called by the other player.
The player who had checked sighed, tanked for a while and then called with 
for the straight. Tadini's 
scooped the pot against the 
of the other player as well.
With 276 entries for Day 1b thus far and 171 entries of Day 1a (including 16 re-entries), the screens now show 100 re-entries in total which totals for almost one fourth of the field. As expected, Yehoram Houri has purchased his second bullet for today as well and sits one seat over from where his misery had started.
Dominique Terzian is back at it again, too.
Vitor Hugo, runner-up to Sonny Franco in Event #7 here at the Casino de Marrakech a few days ago, is down to one chip only and had to put in the T-10,000 chip for the ante of 25. It is still 30 big blinds though and only a triple up away from the starting stack.
After a five-way turn of 
, the action was checked to Fouad Zouiten who bet 6,400 from the button. The player in the small blind check-raised all in for 7,425 and the player in the big blind tanked for a few minutes. Time was called and the cards went into the muck before the player in under the gun called, Bernard Guigon folded.
Zouiten called as well and the 
river was checked through. The player at risk showed 
for the nut straight, the third player in the hand held 
and Zouiten's 
were no good either.
