Welcome to Day 1b of the 2015 WSOP International Circuit Main Event in Marrakech
In half an hour from now on at 2 p.m. local time, the second starting day of the 2015 World Series of Poker International Circuit Main Event gets underway at the Casino de Marrakech. The tournament comes with a price tag of 15,000 Dirhams, which equals €1,350, and all players that were eliminated on yesterday's Day 1a can re-enter the competition.
The man to beat thus far is Frederic Rizzo from France, who emerged as chip leader towards the very end of day and turned his starting stack of 30,000 chips into almost nine times the amount, bagging up impressive 264,000. Jorge Coello Esmoris's 239,800 are good enough for second place followed by Winamax Poker Tour Paris third place finisher El Mostafa Ederoua, who claimed 216,300 chips.
Day 1b features a total of 12 levels of 45 minutes each and there is a 15-minute break every three levels. After the end of level 9 there is a 60-minute dinner break and the late registration closes simultaneously as well. Furthermore, every participant can take advantage of a single re-entry on Day 1b within said time frame as well.
Those expected to be back in action are such familiar names as Abdelhadi Kondah, Anas Tadini, Philippe Ktorza, Brahim Oubella, Frederic Hebette and Matas Cimbolas, all of which busted during Day 1a. Furthermore, Ben Warrington will most likely also take a shot at winning a WSOP Circuit Ring as well.
