A total of 188 players out of 544 entries will return to Casino de Marrakech in the Es Saadi Resort - Palace to continue battling for the coveted gold WSOP Circuit ring. Former November Niner Fernando Pons holds the overall chip lead after bagging 282,900 chips on Day 1B. Pons is closely followed by Anas Tadini (264,000) and Stephane Dossetto (252,600). Day 1A chip leader Achille Voltolina sits in fourth place with 224,700.
