Azziz Abdelmalki - 17th Place
Christophe Savary started the action with an early-position raise to 40,000, and Azziz Abdelmalki made the smooth call a few seats over. In the hijack, Benjamin Pollak stuck in a healthy three-bet, good enough to fold Savary out of the way. Abdelmalki was not so easily pacified though.
