The cards are in the air for Day 1a of the Marrakech Poker Open Main Event.
There has been a delay to the scheduled 1 p.m. start.
It's almost like last night's lightning storms didn't happen as the sun beats down once again for the opening day of the Marrakech Poker Open Main Event, running at the Casino de Marrakech within the stunning Es Saadi Resort. Day 1a, the first of three starting flights, kicks off today at 1 p.m. local time.
Tristan Forge is the event's reigning champion. He topped a 229-player field in 2025 to take home the title and 500,000 MAD (€47,645) for the biggest score of his nearly 15-year career. Forge bested Javier Tsunamy to take home the lion's share of the 2,434,000 MAD prize pool.
