Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Paul is from Spain and don't want us to use his real name so he'll go for Paul Said for the moment.

The Spaniard start was beautiful as he has now more than 4 times the starting stacks with 143,000 chips in front of him...

Felted players have the opportunity to use an illimited re-entry until the start of the Level 10... and regulars try to take advantage of that by playing a very high-variance game.

Anas Tadini has already re-entry more than two times and Sébastien Compte (Photo - 3rd in the the World Poker Tour Marrakech 2010 for 126,586$) is actually going to the cashier to play again...

During the last fifteen minutes, we also lost the volubile Omar Lakhdari who will also ren-enter very soon !

Grech Climbing High

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Gregory Grech
Gregory Grech

Gregory Grech has won two tournaments since the beginning of May for a little more than €60,000 and his good run looks like it might continue here in Marrakech.

The Frenchman has eliminated an opponent in two hands to build a stack of 110,000 chips.

Grech's opponent limped under the gun and saw a player bet 1,400 chips from the hijack. On the button, Gregory fired a three-bet and was called by both players. After a continuation bet on {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, The hijack check-raised all-in and Grech called with {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The Frenchman was ahead against the flush draw of the player in the hijack, who tabled {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. The turn {6-Spades} and river {j-Spades} changed nothing and Grech was suddenly piling up a little more than 70,000 chips.

Less than ten minutes later, Grech was sat behind more than 100,000 chips. He's in the mood to aim for the very top of the chipcounts.

Rosadoni Doubles His Chips

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

First to act on a {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{q-} board, Giovanni Rosadoni fired a bet of 2,300 chips in the small blind. The under the gun player called and another player folded.

The dealer delivered a turn of {7-Hearts} and the WSOP Europe winner led out for a second time, this time for 3,900 chips. That bet was called and the {k-Spades} river completed the board.

Rosadonni checked and his opponent pushed all of his chips forward to set him all-in. The Frenchman snap-called with {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and got a very quick muck from his opponent before the dealer forced him to flash {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

Rosadoni is now above the starting stack.
