The prestigious Es Saadi Marrakech Resort in Morocco is gearing up for the 2024 edition of the Marrakech Poker Open, which runs from July 29 through August 4. Brought to you in association with 60 International Poker Festival and the Casino de Marrakech, the 2024 Marrakech Poker Open sees 24 tournaments and satellites take place in the Moroccan capital.
This year's festival sees the addition of the Spanish Poker Festival (SPF), which features a MAD6,000 ($610) buy-in Spanish Poker Festival event running from July 29 to August 1.
The crown jewel of the busting schedule is, without doubt, the MAD10,000 ($1,015) buy-in Marrakech Poker Open Main Event. Not only is this tournament the one everyone attending the festival wants to win, it is also the event that PokerNews' industry-leading live reporting team is covering from Day 1a on August 1 through to the champion being crowned on August 4.
