There was 400,000 in the middle on an {8-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop when both Fabio Pinho Damaso and Jaouad Abida got their stacks in the middle. About 1.5 million from Damaso went in and Abida had him just barely covered.

Fabio Pinho Damaso: {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Jaouad Abida: {10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

Abida was in terrible shape and his railbirds chanted for a ten. The miracle card hit as the {10-Hearts} came on the turn to swing the lead to the local hero. The {6-Diamonds} fell on the river to crush Damaso's hopes of winning the WPTDeepStacks and end his bid in 3rd place.

Tosques Catches Adiba Twice in a Row

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

In two hands, Jaouad Abida bluffed off a sizable portion of his stack to Francois Tosques, who is now the overwhelming chipleader. In the first hand, Abida bet 350,000 on a {7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} turn and 500,000 on a {Q-Hearts} river. Tosques called twice with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and won against {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

In the subsequent hand, Tosques raised to 400,000 from the small blind and Abida defended his big blind. The flop was {8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Tosques bet 325,000. Abida raised to 900,000 and Tosques called.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} and Tosques check-called 700,000 from Abida. Both players instantly checked the {10-} on the river.

Tosques revealed {8-Spades}{7-Hearts} for eights and deuces and Abida mucked.

Jaouad Abida open-shoved from the small blind and Fabio Pinho Damaso instantly called all in for 1,100,000 from the big blind.

Jaouad Abida: {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Fabio Pinho Damaso: {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}

Damaso ran to his friends on the rail for solace but didn't have much to fear on an {A-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn opened up a minor sweat but the {6-Clubs} on the river was safe for the double.

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

In a limped pot, the flop was {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Hearts} and both Ramon Sol and Francois Tosques checked their respective blinds. On the {9-Spades} turn, Sol bet 260,000 and Tosques called.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Sol checked. Tosques bet 690,000 and Sol check-raised all in for 2,265,000. Tosques asked for a count and called after half a minute or so.

Sol shook his head and sheepishly turned over {K-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a total airball. Tosques revealed {9-Clubs}{4-Spades} for a full house and had Sol covered to bust the Spaniard in 4th.

Damaso Doubles Through Abida

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Fabio Pinho Damaso committed his last 400,000 from under the gun and Jaouad Abida called from the big blind.

Fabio Pinho Damaso: {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Jaouad Abida: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}

Damaso paired up on the {8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop to take the lead. To spice things up in the Es Saadi Resort, the dealer flipped the {7-Spades} on the turn to give Abida straight and flush outs to go with the nines and aces. They all remained in the deck as the {5-Hearts} rolled off on the river to double Damaso up.

Kalidou Sow went all in for about 1,300,000 from the cutoff. Francois Tosques reshoved all in for 1,540,000 on the button and Jaouad Abida folded his small blind. Fabio Pinho Damaso thought hard for about a minute before folding his big blind.

Kalidou Sow: {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}
Francois Tosques: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

There would be no miracle escape for the French giant on a {7-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and he bowed out in 5th place for 240,000 MAD. He stood up and shook everyone's hand at the table before making his way to the exit.

Mathieu Papineau Eliminated in 6th Place (195,000 MAD / €17,825)

Jaouad Abida & Mathieu Papineau

Jaouad Abida raised to 210,000 and Mathieu Papineau defended his big blind. The flop came down {4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{A-Clubs} and Papineau checked. Abida bet 400,000, Papineau check-raised all in and Abida instantly called.

Mathieu Papineau: {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Jaouad Abida: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

Papineau had straight and flush outs and the French rail begged for the five of clubs to lock things up. Their wish wasn't granted on either the {10-Spades} turn or {3-Hearts} river.

The Adiba-train keeps steamrolling and the Moroccan picked up where he left before dinner break: eliminating players. Papineau became his latest victim and he went out in 6th place.
