It was a day of eliminations, with Day 1a chip leader Sofian Benaissa earning a min-cash whereas Day 1b chip leader Guillaume Darcourt fell short of the money.
The 25 remaining players, who have all guaranteed themselves 41,000 MAD (€3,819), are lead by Sonny Franco (1,187,000), who boosted his chip stack by eliminating Eric Fournier as the tournament bubble boy. He caught a piece of a ![]()

Joining Franco at the top of the chip counts is Anthony Rodrigues (1,182,000 ) and Mathieu Selides (1,044,000). These three players are the only ones to top a million in chips and will be looking forward to chipping up further when play resumes on Day 3. Other notable stacks include Loic Blarez (501,000), Erwann Pecheux (222,000) and last woman standing Natalia Breviglieri (300,000)
