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 !

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...

Giovanni (L.) and Said (R.)

Giovanni Rosadoni won the WSOP Europe 2012 Event #4 Shootout for 107.614€ defeating Dan O'Brien head's up, the french southerner is seated next to another WSOP winner !

After winning the leaderboard of the WSOP Circuit festival here in Casino de Marrakech, Said El Yousfi conquered his maiden victory at the WSOP Circuit Global Championship against 125 opponents in 2016 ! He collected 346,000$ and a piece of jewelry... but if everybody seems to know him at the table, Giovanni is playing the unknown card...

Bruno Fitoussi

Bruno Fitoussi introduced poker on the french live scene by starting the tables of the Aviation Club de France 25 years ago. The Partypoker sponsored pro is above average with 34,000 chips after winning a small hand.

The Godfather opened in the Cutoff and fired two barrels against the big blind on a {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{8-}{9-} to take the pot...

Fred Rizzo

Fred Rizzo was 5 cards away from a re-entry after a preflop war with Axel Jacquin... but he was saved by the dealer.

The frenchmen were all-in preflop and Rizzo was behind with {k-}{k-} !

Axel Jacquin tabled {a-}{a-} but was crushed by the {k-}{8-}{j-} flop. There was no help on the turn and the river left Jacquin with 21,000 chips.

Rizzo has now a healthy stack of 54,000 chips...

OK Start for Sarah Herzali

Sarah Herzali

Sarah Herzali opened preflop in early position and Rab Ait Abdelmalek called in the button before calling again a continuation-bet on the {7-Diamonds}{q-}{7-Clubs} flop.

The duo has checked the turn {a-Diamonds} and the Team Pro PMU Poker check-folded after a bet of 2700 chips on the {7-Hearts}.

A very small hit for the stack of one of the few women already in the field. Sarah and her opponent have more than the starting stack after two hours of play.
