Action was picked up with 11,200 in the middle on a 6♦5♦Q♦ flop.
Iherkouken El-Hadi fired out 10,000 from the small blind before the cutoff player raised to 25,000. El-Hadi moved all in for 78,000 and his opponent made the call.
Iherkouken El-Hadi: A♦10♦
Cutoff: K♦K♠
El-Hadi flopped the nuts and was poised to scoop a massive pot. The 7♣ turn and 5♣ river sealed the deal, and El-Hadi emerged as one of the tournament chip leaders.
Early position opened to 1,100 and the button three-bet to 4,000. Nacho Barbero four-bet out of the small blind to 12,000 which forced a fold from the original raiser. The button, however, five-bet shoved for around 40,000 and Barbero snap-called.
Button: A♣K♣
Nacho Barbero: A♦A♥
Barbero's opponent was already out of his seat upon seeing the pocket aces. The Q♠2♦5♥3♠8♦ runout didn't help and he was sent to the rail.
Barbero jokingly commented after the hand "I play so good, first hand I bust someone flush over flush, then aces to ace-king!"
The cutoff opened the action with a raise to 1,000. Julien Sitbon three-bet to 3,200 from the button before the cutoff four-bet to 9,800. Sitbon made the call.
The cutoff continued for 6,000 on K♣6♥3♥ and Sitbon called.
The 8♥ turn rolled off and the cutoff fired again, this time for 12,200. Sitbon called once more.
Action went check-check on the 6♠ river. The cutoff showed A♠10♥ and Sitbon dragged the pot in with A♥K♠.
