David Vergnes 3-bet shoved 126,000 chips from the blinds after a raise from Philipp Huxley in middle position. Huxley turbo-called with {k-}{k-} and was in front against {7-}{7-}.

The {6-}{2-}{8-}{9-}{5-} board gave a second life to Vergnes. Huxley is in deep trouble now...

Poker Is Not Dead

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Adis Zukanovic open shoved 23,000 chips from under the gun and Franck Lelong called in middle position before Nourredine Aitaleb pushed his 55,000 chips stack just on his left.

Franck didn't asked the count and surprisingly folded what appears to be {a-Spades}{k-Clubs} !

A blessing for Aitaleb who wons a very important pot with {q-}{q-} against the {7-}{7-} of Zukanovic.

Obviously Aitaleb could have busted on that {6-}{j-}{a-}{5-}{4-} board !

Flip

Level 15 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Fourth at the Moroccan Al Time Money List, Abdel Kondah is out.

The Es Saadi regular open-shoved 40,000 chips with {a-}{k-} and was eliminated by a player holding {j-}{j-}. The {a-}{k-}{j-} flop brought some buzz at the table but the turn and the river confirmed the bustout of the local hero.

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Fadhil Farag was down to 3,000 chips on the blinds 2,000 - 4,000 (4,000) and survived in a multiway pot.

With 25,000 chips in front of him during the last hour, he waited and finally found an opportunity to open-shove 5 minutes ago. The Moroccan went all-in with {a-}{5-} and his immediate neighbour woke up with {a-}{k-} but the Dealer spread a {5-Hearts} on the board !
