Just two more days of competition remain in the Unibet Open Main Event, with 62 players remaining from the 853 entries that were accrued across the four Day 1 flights, as well as the first three levels of Day 2.
Leading the way following the second day of action here at Casino de Marrakech is Truquens. The Spaniard managed to bag up a whopping 2,060,000, which converts to 103 big blinds for the beginning of Day 3. He took the chip lead midway through the day, and didn't look back once. Filippo Lazzaretto finds himself just behind in second with 1,955,000, and just behind in third is Romain Lewis (1,600,000)

As is always the case, not all were able to navigate the day, with plenty of players falling short during play. WSOP Bracelet winner Jonathan Therme fell shy of the money, as did Sonny Franco, Malcom Franchi and Unibet Poker Ambassadors Margaux Ponnelle and Alexandre Reard, the latter falling just moments before the money bubble.
The bubble itself was burst relatively late on, as Aitor Cruz held against the big slick of Antoine Nassiri to ensure a 25,000 MAD payday for the 111 remaining players.
Neither Fausto Munz nor Corentin Ropert were able to find a bag, either, but they did score a payout before they headed home, scoring 25,000 MAD and 26,500 MAD respectively for their efforts. Shortly after, Antonin Teisseire, who bad been nursing a short stack for the large majority of the day, was unable to carry on doing so, and left with 28,000 MAD
Day 3 resumes at 2:00 p.m. local time on October 3, with players coming back to Level 22, and blinds resuming at 10,000/20,000/20,000. Action is set to play down to a final table.

Ahmed Blili opened to 30,000 from middle position. Nuno De Sales then moved all in on the button, which sent big blind Thomas Delattre deep into the tank. After some time, the clock was called, and he snap-folded. Blili made the call.
Nuno De Sales: A♠Q♣ 
Ahmed Blili: K♥J♥
It was a race, and De Sales lost the lead on the 10♦J♠8♦ flop. Despite being behind, he still had plenty of equity with two overs and a double gutter. Unfortunately, it came brick-brick, as the 5♣7♠ runout spelled the end of De Sales' competition.

: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Ali Rachedi opened on the button. David Foucault, with only 25,000 in his stack on top of his big blind, moved all in. Rachedi called.
David Foucault: A♣4♣
Ali Rachedi: A♠Q♣
Foucault had picked up a suited ace, but unfortunately it was completely dominated, and he couldn't find a way to win on the 6♥K♦5♣A♦10♦ runout.
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Romain Lewis opened the action with a raise to 30,000 from early position. Two seats to his left, Damien Luis flatted the bet, and Isabel Baltazar called on the button.
The 6♠Q♥A♥ flop saw Lewis throw out a continuation-bet of 40,000. Luis folded, but Baltazar paid to see one more card. However, it wasn't the 4♣ that she was looking for, as she folded to a second barrel of 90,000 from Lewis.
