Welcome to the Final Day of the 2020 WSOP Circuit Marrakech Main Event
Welcome to the final day of the 2020 WSOP Marrakech 15,000 MAD (€1,400) Main Event at the Casino de Marrakech, located in the heart of the Es Saadi Resort.
The tournament attracted a huge field of 625 entrants to establish a new festival record in its seven-event history.
Just 16 players remain in hopes to claim the 1,600,000 MAD (€150,400/$166,747) top prize, along with a coveted WSOP Circuit gold ring, and a free entry to the WSOP Global Championship valued at $10,000.
A Spanish player under the nickname Igna Poker enters the final day in the driver's seat after bagging a Day 2 chip leading stack of 2,705,000. Also beginning the day over 2 million in chips are Portugal's Rui Bouquet (2,335,000), Spain's TMV (2,180,000), and Switzerland's Samiyel Duzgun (2,035,000).
The action will begin at 1 p.m. CET with the final 10 minutes of Level 23 with blinds at 10,000/25,000 and a big blind ante of 25,000 before increasing to 15,000/30,000 and a big blind ante of 30,000. Blinds will continue to increase every hour until a winner is crowned.
All of the returning players are guaranteed to cash at least 68,000 MAD (€6,392/$7,087) with payouts moving up quickly from there.
