Level 3 : 100/200, 100 ante

The volatile Anas Tadini is a local celebrity here on Moroccan soil, known for his aggressive, unpredictable style and wild swings at times. With over 600k in lifetime winnings, Tadini shows that his style certainly reaps its rewards, making him a dangerous opponent. This time, though, Tadini was swinging towards the low point of the pendulum in a hand against Frederic Delval.

Delval and Tadini both already had 16,000 each preflop in the middle, leaving them with less than half a stack behind as the flop came down . The remaining 12,000 of Delval got in after and Tadini had him covered by just 1,000.

Frederic Delval:
Anas Tadini:

The on the turn sealed it for Delval, making the river inconsequential. Tadini doubled twice since but is still short with 5,000.

"Hey, I never run good on the first entry anyways," Tadini grinned.

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Coming from The Netherlands, Danny van Zijp has traveled along with Tobias Peters to discover Marrakech, but his first taste of the WPTDeepStacks Main Event turned out pretty sour when the Dutchman became the first to hit the rail.

Action was on the turn with around 8,500 in the middle with the board reading . Van Zijp bet 5,100, Kamal Sefrioui check-raised all in for over 30,000 and Van Zijp called for his tournament life.

Danny van Zijp:
Kamal Sefrioui:

The river kept Van Zijp's hand second best and he departed the tournament area. The Dutchman has until the start of level 10 if he decided to reenter.
