Homann Leads the Pack on Day 1a
After 11 levels of play, Day 1a of the WPT Marrakech presented by Chilipoker has concluded. A total of 137 came to play and battled throughout the day with hopes of making it to Day 2 and ultimately, the final table. When it was all said and done, just 51 remain, Sebastian Homann had the best day, ending with a stack of 327,900. Not far behind are Nicolas Levi with 287,700 and Andrei One with 196,900.
Among those that did not make it to Day 2 was Alexandre Gomes. He had a tumultuous day, being the first one to hit the 100,000 mark and the first to hit the 100,000 mark and bust. Also hitting the rail were Antoine Saout and Toni Judet.
Day 1b will start tomorrow at 2pm local, so be sure to join us then. Good night from Marrakech!

The clock is paused and the remaining six tables are playing three more hands before calling it a night.
Pariente Pays the Price
Alana Pariente raised from the hijack, and the next two players both called. The flop fell 
, and she bet 5,000. Next to act, Joel Benzinou called. Then the button raised to 14,200. Pariente called, and Benzinou folded, preserving his last 39,000 but looking miserable. The turn brought the 
and an even more disgusted look from Benzinou. He kept shaking his head and slamming his face into his hands while Pariente checked, and the button bet 20,000. She called to see the 
river, then checked again. This time, her opponent only bet 15,000. She called but could only tap the table in defeat when the button turned over 
for a flopped set and rivered boat. The hand left Pariente with 43,000 as the day draws to a close.
Tadini Takes One
Anas Tadini opened with a raise to 3,200 from early position and got one caller from the button. The flop came 
, and Tadini fired out a continuation bet of 6,000. His opponent considered for thirty seconds, then made the call.
The turn brought the 
. Tadini again acted quickly, betting 15,000 this time. His opponent again took his time, but this time folded.
After falling into the danger zone a short while ago, Tadini has climbed back to 48,000.

Queen High is Good for Rony
Tristan Clemencon raised to 2,800 in early position and Damien Rony called from middle position. Nicolas Levi came along from the small blind as well and the flop ran out 
. It was checked around to Rony and he bet 5,600. Levi called, Clemencon folded, and the 
hit the turn.
Levi checked and Rony fired 9,200 this time. After a few moments Levi called, landing the on the river. Both checked and Levi muttered something along the lines of, "It's yours." Rony tabled 
and it was in fact good as Levi sent his hand to the muck.
Rony: Up to roughly 60,000
Levi: Down to about 195,000
Nitsche's Climb Part Deux
If you recall, during the last two levels, Dominik Nitsche went from 60,000 to 12,500, then started working his way back up again. Since we last checked on him, he doubled again. Then we watched him raise preflop and pick up two callers. The flop fell , and he bet 4,400. That chased on of his opponents out. The turn was the , and Nitsche bet out 10,500. His remaining opponent mucked, and Nitsche moved up further. He scooped the next pot as well to get himself back over the 60,000 mark.
