Tadini Versus Marillaud

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Joining the action on the {5-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {A-Hearts} {K-Spades} turn, Jessy Marillaud bet 1,100 for half the pot and was called by Anas Tadini from one seat over. The Frenchman then checked the {10-Diamonds} river and reluctantly paid off the 2,200-bet of Tadini to muck when shown the {K-Hearts} {4-Hearts} for trips kings.

Strong Turnout Expected

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

The screens show 141 players signed up for the second starting day and many players from Casablanca as well as Spain are expected to join the action today. At the current rate it seems very likely that the numbers of Day 1a will be eclipsed. Among the most recent players to join the action, Mohamed Nadi has taken his seat.

The More the Merrier

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

"El Gran Tito" is one of the most entertaining players and the Spaniard just showed up to take his seat. Quentin Lecomte is back in as well but not in action yet, as his table has no other players for the moment. Mouad is one of the local players and Patrick Sacrispeyre is no unknown to the international poker circuit.

Already Three Seat Open

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

There were no seat open in the first level, however three players ran out of chips in the second level. Among them was Pedro Oliveira, who got involved in a five-way pot against a player that had just arrived at the table. It was the typical doom switch scenario with pocket kings for the Portuguese and pocket aces for the opponent to see Oliveira running out of chips.

Day 1a Already Eclipsed

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

With at least 183 entries, the second starting day has already eclipsed the 171 entries in total of Day 1a and next target is 400 entries in total. This requires at least 230 entrants today and the current pace at which the field is growing makes this more than just a realistic target.

Tito Gets Pushed Around

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

Arriving at the {7-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {A-Clubs} turn with 17,000 chips in the middle, El Gran Tito was staring at the board and the all in of his opponent. The Spaniard had just under 20,000 chips left and eventually folded pocket queens after an eternity in the think tank. His opponent said he had pocket kings and Tito had to take a little break after the hand was over.

Hunting Another Ring

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

Said El Yousfi is seated on the far left hand side of the tournament area on table 1 and may become the first player here in Morocco to win two World Series of Poker Circuit Rings after taking down event #11 yesterday. The Swiss is back in action today and not much has happened yet, judging by his starting stack of 30,000 chips.

Same applies for Sonny Franco, who won event #7 and is also in the Main Event now.
