The official introductions are out of the way and play is back underway. For the seven remaining players, the final push for the trophy and the 1 million Moroccan Dhiram starts now. Here we go.
It's been a quiet start to the final table as the players got accustomed to the change of scenery, but Hugo Larachiche seems to have found his groove first.
First he squeezed to 700,000 from the big blind after a raise from Rakesh Lalwani and a call from [Removed:445], and took it down with two bullets on the 
board.
The very next hand Haho opened the button to 350,000 and both Larachiche and Lalwani called in the blinds called. Larachiche proceeded to check-call 325,000 on the 
flop, before check-raising the 
turn to 1,525,000 heads up against Haho. Haho ultimately mucked his hand and Larachiche raked in the pot.

Chips are moving around on the table right now but mostly away from [Removed:445], who hasn't won his fair share of the hands so far. He just lost a big one against Rakesh Lalwani, when Lalwani rivered a flush holding 
with 3.5 million chips already in the pot. Lalwani checked to Haho after the river, and though Haho wisely checked back, he still slipped to 4,500,000.
The shortest of the bunch right now is Florent Vaz Martin who hasn't won a single hand on the final table so far, while Paul Guichard has been fighting to stay in it with a few shoves now and then,

Florent Vaz Martin moved all-in for 1,550,000, and Paul Guichard moved in over the top for around 100,000 more. The rest of the table was happy to let the short stacks battle it out, and cards were on their backs.
Florent Vaz Martin: 
Paul Guichard: 
The flop landed 
, but despite the top pair, Guichard was visibly still nervous about the income. He was nervous no more after the 
hit the turn, and with Vaz Martin drawing dead the 
river was just for show.
Vaz Martin gets 130,000 for his efforts while the former EPT Deauville runner-up Paul Guichard is right back in it.

![[Removed:445] doubles through Rakesh Lalwani the last hand before the break](https://s.pnimg.net/tsnz36PSpj2kPwKiiqBv90m6R3z-K8VI-PdTuz2Eqwk/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC8x/OTMxLzEzL3gyODdh/MTY0M2YyLmpwZw.webp)
In the last hand before the break, Rakesh Lalwani entered the pot with a raise to 450,000 from first position. The action folded around to [Removed:445] in the small blind, and he made it 1,250,000 total. Rakesh made the call, and it was heads up to the 
flop.
Haho continued for 750,000 and Lalwani instantly announced all-in. Just as quickly Haho threw in a single chip signaling the call.
Rakesh Lalwani: 
[Removed:445]: 
Lalwani was in dire straits but it was [Removed:445] at risk as he held the shorter stack of the two with 4,175,000. The 
on the turn and the 
on the river changed nothing, and the crowd let out a roar as Haho raked in the pot. He responded with a loud "ALLEZ!", making the chants grow even louder.
