Day 2 Almost Ready
Welcome back to beautiful Marrakech, Morocco, for Day 2 of the WPT Marrakech Main Event presented by Chilipoker.
Yesterday saw 85 players turn out for the second of the two Day Ones, with only 31 of those surviving to join with the 51 remaining from Day 1A. Johan Williamson of Sweden ended with the most chips, 192,500, when play concluded late last night and sits in fourth overall.
Expectations are we that should be playing down to the final table of eight players or ten levels, whichever comes first. In the best shape right now is Sebastian Homann with 327,900, but that can certainly change in a hurry. Play starts in about a half-hour from now, so we'll see you back here then!
Level: 12
Blinds: 800/1,600
Ante: 200
Day Ends Soon for Sunar
Surinder Sunar entered today next-to-last in chips among the 82 players, and just after play began that small stack was immediately at risk. Sunar picked up 
and was all in against an opponent holding 
.
The first three community cards were good for Sunar -- 
-- giving him a set. But the fourth -- an 
-- was not, giving his opponent a straight. The river failed to pair the board, and Sunar is our first Day 2 elimination.
Eames Takes Out Kalfon
![[user140525]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
From middle position, John Eames raised to 3,700. Franck Kalfon was in the big blind with only 5,000 chips behind, and he dutifully moved them all in. Eames tossed out the extra and flipped over his 
. Kalfon's 
were live, but he failed to get any help from the 
board. He left shortly after beginning the day, while Eames is up to 90,000.
Ravai Trips Up Monceau
With the board showing 
, Stephen Monceau studied for a moment then announced he was all in, committing the rest of the 60,000 or so with which he began the hand. His opponent, [Removed:321] Ravai, instantly called, and the players simultaneously tabled their cards.
Monceau flipped over 
for trip eights, but let out an exhalation of dismay when he leaned forward to see that Ravai was turning over for a better set. The river was the 
, and Monceau is out.
Ravai moves near 150,000 after that one.
Rettenmaier's Got Heart
Marvin Rettenmaier checked the bloody 
flop to Fadhil Farag, who bet at it. Rettenmaier called to see a fourth heart hit the board with the turn. He checked again, then called a bet of 5,000. The river brought the 
. Rettenmaier checked a third time. Farag tried the same bet. Rettenmaier grimaced but tossed a T5,000 pink chip into the middle with a shrug. Farag tapped the table, turning over 
for a heartless nut straight. Rettenmaier laughed as he showed 
. "I hit my gutshot," he said, but it was the heart that played, giving him the pot.
De la Gorce Takes One
Andrei One began today near the top of the chip counts, but just lost a number of chips following an all-in confrontation with Guillaume de la Gorce. One held 
, while de la Gorce had 
. As a certain WPT announcer would say, we were looking at a race situation, Vince.
The flop came , putting de la Gorce in front, and the 
turn and 
river sealed it. De la Gorce moves up to 228,000, taking one of those spots near the top of the counts vacated by One, while One falls back a bit to 133,000.
Petre Not Crumbling to Hairabedian's Pressure
Petre Ionescu opened to 3,800, and when action folded to him in the blinds, Roger Hairabedian raised to 9,800. Ionescu froze for several minutes, then pulled his bet back and made it 30,000 total. Hairabedian sighed and mucked his face up. "Good hand," said Ionescu, keeping his cards to himself. Hairabedian is down to 87,000 from a start-of-day stack of just over 100,000.
