Berdah Versus Dupont

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Steve Berdah raised to 650 from the hijack and button Henri Dupont raised to 2,000. Berdah made the call and they went heads-up to the {J-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop.

Both players checked on the flop to see the {7-Spades} turn and Berdah check-called a bet of 1,500. The river was the {J-Hearts} and Berdah checked again to Dupont. Dupont put in another bet of 3,500 and there was a quick call from Berdah.

Dupont showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}, but that wasn't enough to take down the pot against the {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} of Berdah.

Monceau Pulls Off a Bluff

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

There was about 8,000 that went in preflop when Vincent Hilaire from the under-the-gun position, Stephen Monceau from middle position, and Alberto Ah Line from the cutoff saw a three-way flop. That flop was {5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and all three players checked on the first three community cards.

Hilaire was first to act after the {6-Spades} turn was dealt and he put in a bet of 1,700. He was called by Monceau, but Ah Line got out of the way.

The {2-Diamonds} completed the board and Hilaire checked to Monceau. Monceau bet 3,500 and Hilaire folded his cards.

Monceau showed {7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for seven high as he raked in his newly won chips.

2016 Global Casino Champion El-Yousfi Back in Marrakech

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Said El-Yousfi is a regular in the Marrakech poker schene. Three years ago, at the second edition of the WSOP International Circuit Marrakech, El-Yousfi won the leaderboard after finishing second, fourth, and fourteenth, banking 125,000 MAD (approx. €11,500). Winning the leaderboard awarded El-Yousfi with an entry in the $10,000 Global Casino Championship, just as the winner of the Main Event here in Marrakech.

El-Yousfi then proceeded to take down the tournament later in August of 2016, winning himself another $343,256. El-Yousfi is back at it again here in Casino de Marrakech and is seated at the same table as Jean Montury and Ka Lau.

Value for Izoumaz With a Full House

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Gyula Karasz raised to 700 from the under-the-gun position and he was called by Sami Izoumaz from the hijack. Christopher Chaudey sat in the cutoff and three-bet to 2,000. The other players got out of the way but Karasz and Izoumaz both stuck around.

The flop fell {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and all three players checked. The turn was the {2-Hearts} and that was the moment that Karasz took back the betting initiative as he put a bet of 2,500 in the middle. Izoumaz called and Chaudey folded.

The {6-Clubs} river completed the board and Karasz checked to Izoumaz this time. Izoumaz bet 3,000 and he was called after a short while by Karasz.

Izoumaz showed {7-Spades}{6-Spades} for a full house and he took down the pot.

Small Pot for Montury

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Tarek Omri limped under the gun and it folded all the way around to Jean Montury on the button. Montury raised to 800 and both the players in the blinds folded. Omri called to see the flop.

The dealer spread out the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop and both players checked their option. The turn was the {A-Hearts} and Omri checked to Montury again. Montury made a delayed continuation bet of 425 and that was enough to take down the pot.
