Calum Grant

Day 2 of the UDSO Marrakech Main Event at Casino de Marrakech is set to begin at 1 p.m. local time, with the surviving 233 players from the four Day 1 flights returning to battle for a place in the final stages.

The record-breaking field of 937 entries has generated a prize pool of 4,768,000 MAD (approx. €449,871), and today’s mission will be to burst the money bubble and play down until only 16 players remain.

Play resumes at Level 12 with blinds at 1,000/2,500 and a 2,500 big blind ante.

Leading the way is Sebastien Guinand, who bagged a towering 1,208,000 after a huge pot against pocket aces late on Day 1c. Local hopes will be carried by Abdou Zizi and Mehdi Senhaji, who sit second and third in the counts, while a strong French contingent fills out much of the top ten.

Rank	Player	Country	Chip Count
1	Sebastien Guinand	France	1,208,000
2	Abdou Zizi	Morocco	797,000
3	Mehdi Senhaji	Morocco	572,000
4	Thierry Oldak	France	545,000
5	Salah Eddine Taleb	France	517,500
6	Mustapha Berraho	Morocco	510,000
7	Frederic Popot	France	479,500
8	Romain Morin	France	464,000
9	Benjamin Hammann	France	451,500
10	Marius Agica	Romania	426,500

Among those still in contention are several well-known names: bracelet winner Said El Yousfi (425,000), popular French pro Sonny Franco (59,000), WPT champion Guillaume Darcourt (280,000), and the husband-and-wife Unibet ambassador duo Alexandre Reard (95,000) and Aurélie Reard (175,000).

Day 1a opened the action with 210 players, with 52 advancing. Thierry Oldak bagged best from the opening flight and returns for Day 2 fourth in the overall chip counts.

Day 1b then welcomed 256 players, with 63 making it through. Mustapha Berraho finished as the top stack of the flight to give Morocco another strong contender heading into the next stage.

Day 1c and 1d brought in 470 entries, sending 118 players forward. That late surge helped push the total field to 936, the largest Main Event in UDSO Marrakech history.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action folded to Mikhail Bakharev in the small blind and he moved all-in for 22,500. Romain Morin quickly called from the big blind.

Mikhail Bakharev: J♥7♥ All in
Romain Morin: K♥10♦

Bakharev needed some help and found it, as he made a pair on the 9♠7♦4♦ flop to move ahead. He survived after the 3♥4♥ completed the board.

On the next deal, it folded to Bakharev once again and he jammed for 47,500. Morin looked to reclaim his recently lost chips and called.

Mikhail Bakharev: A♣5♥ All in
Romain Morin: Q♦8♣

Bakharev was ahead this time and connected on the A♦3♦3♥ flop to remain the favorite. He booked another double after the 6♥ turn and J♠ river.
