The action picks up with three runners having all of their chips in the middle. Idir Haiche has the 40,200 of Richard Msika barely covered and the third player is in for their 8,300.

Haiche is well in front with his cowboys but an unlikely Heart 10Spade 4Diamond 3 flop slaps Msika with a set of treys. The Spade 5 turn and Spade J river seals it for Msika who drops one player and doubles through Haiche, leaving him in shambles.

On the next hand, Msika takes pocket nines and puts Fahd Boudaouine at risk. Msika is behind when his opponent shows aces but manages to spike another set, sending one more runner to the rail as he adds another pot to his stack.

Richard Msika – 125,000 (208 bb)
