Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bruno "Kool Shen" Lopes opened to 4,000 from middle position. He faced Daniel El Keslassy, who defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the 10♠J♠8♦ flop, and checked again on the K♠ turn.

After El Keslassy checked the 6♥ river, Kool Shen bet 10,000. El Keslassy went deep into the tank, and eventually made the call.

However he couldn't do much against Lopes, who flipped over A♥A♣ to scoop the pot.

Jassim Alawadhi in middle position found himself at risk for 12,200 against Thami Khettam under the gun.

Jassim Alawadhi: A♥K♠ All in
Thami Khettam: K♣Q♣

"No queen, no clubs," Alawadhi said when he flipped over his cards. The board of 9♠6♣5♥10♦9♥ didn't change anything, so he doubled up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The final duel felt like a roller coaster last January at the Casino de Marrakech inside the Es Saadi Resort. After a two-and-a-half-hour-long heads-up battle where both players had opportunities to win, Max Deveson was finally crowned the champion of the 2024 WSOP Circuit Marrakech Main Event.

Deveson is now the proud owner of a WSOP Circuit ring and took home 2,150,000 MAD (approximately €200,000). Obviously exhausted and disappointed, Antoine Delorme finished in second place out of a field of 1,163 entrants, going home with 1,550,000 MAD (€143,000).

Maxime Taldir

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Cubex opened to 3,500 from the hijack, then saw Loic Lecharny on the button three-bet all-in for 10,500. Nabil Hajjoubi in the small blind called, as well as Cubex.

Both Hajjoubi and Cubex checked the J♦K♠5♠, but Cubex bet 5,000 on the 6♣ turn. Hajjoubi check-folded.

Loic Lecharny: A♦K♥ All in
Cubex: J♥10♥

Cubex had a pair, but it was not enough to eliminate Lecharny, who hit two pair with the A♠ river to triple up.
