Saverio Cocozza raised to 12,500 and Michael van der Ghinst in the cutoff as well as Mohamed Ali Houssam in the small blind called. On the flop {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} the fireworks started and Houssam got his stack via check-raise in with Cocozza looking him up, hand for hand was not even underway yet.

Houssam: {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}
Cocozza: {7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

The 2011 WPT Marrakech Main Event champion was the player at risk for around 100,000 chips and needed to pair the board in order to stay in the tournament. However, the {9-Diamonds} turn and {7-Spades} river both blanked and the bubble burst before hand-for-hand mode had begun.
