An Hommage to Jawad Bentahila
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Moroccan poker player Jawad Bentahila sadly passed away on December 31st, 2018. Bentahila sits in 16th on the Moroccan all-time money list and all of his cashes were in Morocco. His biggest score was winning a 22,000 MAD (€2,000) tournament for 364,000 MAD (approx. €33,500).
Most of the players stood up from their seats as a slideshow of photographs were shown on all the screens.
The tournament continued after a couple of minutes. They will play two more levels until they have a one-hour dinner break.
