Ramon Sol Eliminated in 14th Place (70,000 MAD)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The flop read {Q-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Ramon Sol had to call for his tournament life when Najib Bennis moved all in to put the pressure on him. The call was fairly easy for Sol as he called the bet off with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Bennis was playing {A-Spades}{9-Clubs} and he was drawing to a straight.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and Bennis gained four outs and had a double gutshot straight draw. The river was the {J-Diamonds} and that gave Bennis the straight to eliminate Sol from the tournament in 14th place. He cashes for 70,000 MAD which is approximately €6,400.

Jose Marie Eliminated in 13th Place (83,000 MAD)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Jose Marie had pushed his last 350,000 in the middle and Nicolas Pacifico, a dealer and poker brush, took him up on the challenge. Marie had {A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and was in bad shape against the {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} of Pacifico.

The flop was {J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs} which gave Marie a couple of back door draws, but the {4-Diamonds} left him hoping to hit one of the three tens left in the deck. The river was the {5-Clubs} and Pacifico took down the pot, eliminating Marie in the process.

Marie cashes for 83,000 MAD (approx. €7,600).

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

The flop was {7-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{J-Hearts} and Julien Robert was involved in a hand against [Removed:69]. They both put in more chips on the flop and the {9-Hearts} came down on the turn.

El Abdallaoui showed {K-}{8-} and he was beat by Robert's {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

El Abdallaoui collected 98,000 for his 12th place finish, which is roughly €9,000.

Kebe Takes More From Fares

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Jimmy Kebe sat in the big blind and he saw Hassan Fares limp from the small blind. Kebe raised to 120,000 and he was called by his neighbor.

The flop fell {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Fares checked. Kebe continued with a bet of 80,000 and that was enough to make Fares fold.

Kebe extended his chip lead even more.

Ante: 5,000

El Khayati His Stack is Rising

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Abdelhamid El Khayati raised from early position to 115,000 and everyone folded to big blind Jimmy Kebe. Kebe took his time and eventually called the bet defending his big blind.

The flop came down {J-Hearts}{8-Spades}{J-Clubs} and both players checked. Kebe fired a bet of 80,000 when the {9-Clubs} was added to the board and he was raised by El Khayati. El Khayati put 225,000 over the line and the action was back on Kebe.

He took his time and eventually got the clock called on him. He folded when he had four seconds left and the pot was awarded to El Khayati.

Play has severely slowed down in the new level with very little action happening across both tables.
