On a flop with four-way action, Gerard Carbo bet 29,000. Zakaria made it 70,000 to go and the other two players folded. Carbo thought for two minutes before shoving all in for 224,000.
With a big sigh, Zakaria slumped back in his chair. He considered it for thirty seconds, then folded his hand.
With the bubble burst, short stacked players are happy to get their stacks in again. The following players all busted within five minutes and will take home 30,000 MAD (€2,802)
Down to 64,000, eight big blinds, Frederic Rizzo shoved all in from middle position. Two seats to his left, Thibault Saillard called to put Rizzo at risk. The hands remained face-down until all the action on the other tables was completed.
The camera's, reporters and other players swooped in to see if the bubble would burst.

Thibault Saillard:
Rizzo was behind from the start and couldn't catch up on . He became the last player to walk away with no money. The remaining 55 players are guaranteed at least 30,000 MAD (€2,802) for their accomplishment.
The bubble is always a good time for the big stacks to put on some pressure and Zakaria is no different. After he opened, Jean Montury three-bet to 68,000. Zakaria put in a four-bet to 133,000 and Montury folded after much deliberation.
