Gold and Silver for Mohamed Iche in Paris

Level 36 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Mohamed Iche has been crowned the champion of the 2024 WSOP-C Paris €1,200 Main Event here at Stade Jean-Bouin after a grueling 12 hours of play, taking home his first WSOP circuit ring and the first place prize of €150,000.

It has been quite the week for Iche here in Paris, who wasn't content with a second place finish in the €550 WSOP-C Cup for €30,288, following that up by going one better to take the trophy in the Main Event, along with his first six-figure score.

Iche defeated Jonathan Bonnin in a relatively short-heads up battle in which he began with the chip lead, where the real damage was done when he made a hero call with ace-high.

Bonnin had recorded cashes totaling less than $4,000 prior to this, so you imagine he will console himself with his €93,248 pay day for second place.

Final Day Recap

15 players started the day, all vying for the lion's share of the remainder of the €1,064,448 prize pool.

Moncef Karoui was the first player to depart when he ran into the overpair of Yannick Fraysse, while Vincent Montes also exited relatively early in the day.

The knockouts slowed down once it got down to 12, with [Removed:467]'s exit breaking the drought when he three-bet jammed into the dominating ace of Abel Pruchon.

2016 champion Nicolas Noguera departed in eleventh, before the final table bubble was burst in brutal fashion when Franck Yau's aces got cracked by Pruchon's ace-king.

Pruchon began the final table with a big lead, and set about attempting to lay waste to the remainder of the field, knocking out Fraysse, Mallory Frere and Sergio Pinto Teixeira in ninth to seventh place in relatively quick succession.

Other players finally got in on the action when Clement Delacroix busted Rayane Bouibeb in sixth place.

The tide started to turn against Pruchon when he ran into Olivier Armougon's pocket queens.

Armougon then looked like he might make a charge at the title, after he took the chip lead following triumphing in a pre-flop raising war with Pruchon.

Iche had bided his time at the final table, but started to up the aggression once there were four left, following Armougon sending Clement Delacroix to the rail in fifth place with pocket kings. Iche was also helped by Bonnin stopping Armougon's momentum by doubling through him.

Pruchon ultimately departed in fourth place after running into the pocket nines of Bonnin.

The key hand for Iche was busting Armougon in third place. Iche turned the straight against Armougon's second pair and turned flush draw, and all the money went in on the turn, with the river bricking.

Iche then made the aforementioned hero call against Bonnin heads-up to virtually seal the title, and he finished the job shortly thereafter when he rivered an ace to confirm his ace-high holding over Bonnin's jack-high.
