The Race to the Money on Day 2 of the 2015 WSOP International Circuit Main Event in Marrakech
After two starting days with a total of 484 entries, including 125 re-entries, the 15,000 Dirhams Main Event of the 2015 World Series of Poker International Circuit in the Casino de Marrakech has been reduced to 172 players. In about half an hour from now on at 2 p.m. local time, the event resumes with blinds at 800-1,600 and a running ante of 200.
Day 1a chip leader Frederic Rizzo is still sitting atop with his impressive 264,000 followed by Jorge Coello Esmoris with 239,800 whereas Day 1b top dog Omar Lakhdari is in third overall with 234,600. 2011 World Poker Tour Marrakech runner-up Toufik Ourini (221,700) as well as recent Winamax Poker Tour Paris third-place finisher El Mostafa Ederoua (216,300) complete the current top five.
After the first three 45-minute levels, the duration increases to 60 minutes as of level 16 on Day 2, giving the short stacks more time to spin up their stack. Notables to keep an eye on with above-average stacks include Mostafa Boukri (154,000), Matas Cimbolas (149,200), Miroslav Alilovic (138,000), PMU Poker Team Pro Brian Benhamou (131,300), Winamax Team Pro Guillaume Diaz (119,000), 2011 WPT Marrakech champion Houssam Mohamed Ali (100,300) and Guillaume Darcourt (91,800).
The prize pool distribution will be announced before action resumes and the money should definitely be reached on the penultimate day of the tournament. Expect a long day as at least 10 levels are on the schedule. As usual, the PokerNews live reporting team will be there to provide all good and bad beats from the tables until a winner is crowned on Sunday.
