Back and Forth

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

The chips have been going back and forth all over the table with raises and folds. From shoves to walks. NFJM is so relaxed that he doesn't even mind missing some hands as he has gone out to smoke.

When Are We Done?

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Joseph Nassar just asked the floor when the tournament will be done for today. The floor replied that play will continue until a winner has been crowned. Nassar just nodded a bit and went back to his seat as the next hand was being dealt.

Mohamed Jhider Eliminated in 6th Place (269,000 MAD)

Level 30 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
Mohamed Jhider
Mohamed Jhider

Mohamed Jhider shoved all in for 930,000 in total from the button and was called by NFJM in the big blind with a similar stack.

NFJM: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Mohamed Jhider: {K-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{a-Clubs} - even though the queen on the turn was enough to eliminate Jhider from the tournament, the ace on the river made NFJM's hand even stronger. Jhider has left the tournament in 6th place and will go home with 269,000 MAD.
