There has been a small delay to the start of the day. The tournament is expected to begin shortly.
The 2023 Unibet Deepstack Open (UDSO) Marrakech main event begins today at Casino de Marrakech with the first of four starting flights. This is the first UDSO event to take place in Marrakech since 2017 when French pro Sonny Franco topped a field of 94 entrants in the main event to take home MAD 100,000 (€9,899).
Several UDSO Main Event winners have already been crowned in 2023. Most recently, Guillaume Garcia took down the UDSO Gujan-Mestras main event for €44,000. Other notable 2023 UDSO champions include UDSO Paris main event winner Eric Geraume (€65,000) and UDSO Aix en Provence main event winner Gabriel Bardini (€45,400).
