Everybody folded to Rachid El Yaacoubi in the small blind, who raised to 235,000 with A♠A♣. Alexis Rozenblat defended from the big blind with 9♦8♦.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♠J♦7♠ and El Yaacoubi continued for 120,000. Rozenblat check-called.

Both players checked the Q♠ turn. Rozenblat checked again the Q♣ river, but El Yaacoubi bet 450,000. Rozenblat looked at his neighbor for a few seconds, and folded.

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

After Lionel Foulquier limped from early position, Hugues Girard checked his option and checked the 7♥5♠Q♥ flop. Foulquier bet 100,000, but Girard didn't back down and called.

On the J♣ turn, Foulquier fired a second barrel of 200,000. Girard check-called again to see the 9♣ river where they both decided to check.

Girard showed K♦7♠ for a pair, but Foulquier with Q♦10♦ had a top pair.

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Cecile Ticherfatine in middle position opened to 175,000 and she was called by Rachid El Yaacoubi in the hijack. Ticherfatine continued for 210,000 on 4♣8♠10♠ and El Yaacoubi called.

The A♣ turn landed on the felt, but Ticherfatine checked. El Yaacoubi took this opportunity to bet 560,000, but he saw Ticherfatine check-raise to 1,100,000.

El Yaacoubi called, then went into the tank after Ticherfatine moved all-in for 1,400,000 on the K♥ river.

El Yaacoubi eventually folded A♠J♠, and he was right to do so as Ticherfatine had A♥A♦ for a set.

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 10♥10♣6♠, Heni Mokni under the gun bet 115,000 but Rachid El Yaacoubi in the small blind check-raised to 425,000.

Mokni called with A♣K♠, but wisely folded on the 3♥ turn after El Yaacoubi fired a second barrel of 920,000.

He was right to do so because El Yaacoubi had K♥10♠ for trips.

It didn't take long for El Yaacoubi to fold A♣J♣.
