[Removed:335] Eliminated in 8th place (183,000 MAD)

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The flop was {J-Spades}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs} and [Removed:335] was all in with {5-Spades}{5-Clubs} and he needed to avoid a lot of outs against the {9-Spades}{8-Spades} of Hassan Fares.

Fares immediately managed to hit a spade on the {K-Spades} turn and the {K-Diamonds} was meaningless. Fares, one of the other short stacked players at the table, almost doubled up by eliminating [Removed:336].

[Removed:336] gets to collect 183,000 MAD (approx. €16,800).

Another Double Paid by Franco

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Edoardo Mortera was all in and at risk with {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} against the {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts} of Sonny Franco.

The flop was very good for Franco with {7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and the {5-Hearts} denied some outs for Mortera. The river was the {K-Clubs} and Mortera managed to hit a non-heart king to double up to 1,500,000.

Franco Doubles Up Fares

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Hassan Fares moved all in from the cutoff for 350,000 and Sonny Franco called from the button. Both players in the blinds got out of the way and they went to showdown.

Hassan Fares: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Sonny Franco: {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}

Franco flopped incredibly well when {A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{5-Hearts} came down. Fares needed a ten and a ten only to survive. The river was the {2-Diamonds} and that didn't help his case, but the {10-Clubs} river did.

Sonny Franco
Sonny Franco

Sonny Franco raised to 125,000 from middle position and big blind [Removed:335] defended. The flop was {6-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and [Removed:336] check-called a bet of 100,000 from Franco.

They both checked on the {A-Hearts} turn and did the same on the {A-Diamonds} river. [Removed:336] announced ''King high'' as he opened up {K-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Franco replied with ''No good'' as he tabled {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}.
