Player Spotting

The field, as expected, is mostly French players, since Marrakech is a popular destination for French tourists and the tournament's sponsor, Chilipoker, is a French-facing site. Team Winamax is very well represented on Day 1a. Nicolas Levi and Tristan Clemençon are sharing a table. Manuel Bevand is already off to a hot start. The newest member of the team, Marc Inizan, is also at work early in the level.

Also spotted were Euro-circuit regulars Antonin Teisseire, Dominik Nitsche, and Joel Benzinou. Antoine Saout is in the middle of the room, and Alex Gomes is here representing the southern hemisphere.
