Machado in a Tough Spot

Nível 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

A few hands after he doubled up, Wim Verhaegen opened to 80,000 from under the gun. All the other players folded to Manuel Machado, who defended from the big blind.

Machado check-called when Verhaegen continued with a bet of 90,000 on the J♣7♠K♦ flop, and he check-called again on the turn J♥ after Verhaegen bet 230,000.

On the river 2♠, Verhaegen finally moved all-in for 420,000. Machado was obviously facing a painful decision. For more than a minute, he kept moving on his chair. And he eventually folded K♣10♣. It was the right decision, as Verhaegen had A♥J♣ for a set.

Wim Verhaegen: A♣6♠
Mohamed Hakim: K♥Q♣

Verhaegen dodged bullets on a board of 6♣8♣5♠3♦10♥ and secured a double up.

Christopher Marcadet Eliminated in 22nd Place (73,000 MAD)

Nível 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

After Max Deveson opened from under the gun, Christopher Marcadet in the big blind three-bet to 340,000 and was called by Deveson.

Marcadet continued with a bet of 235,000 on a flop of 5♣10♣2♦, and Deveson called. Then on the turn 8♣, Marcadet shoved for almost 1,000,000 chips. Deveson snap-called.

Christopher Marcadet: K♦K♠
Max Deveson: 8♦8♥

Marcadet's kings were cracked by Deveson's set hit on the turn. Fuming, Marcadet was eliminated in 22nd place after the river 3♦.

Sabry Ferhaoui Eliminated in 23rd Place (73,000 MAD)

Nível 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

With 440,000 chips and one of the shortest stack of the field, Sabry Ferhaoui shoved from early position, and he was called by Antoine Delorme on the button.

Sabry Ferhaoui: A♠10♥
Antoine Delorme: Q♥Q♦

The low board of 7♥7♠5♦4♦8♣ didn't help Ferhaoui, who was eliminated.
