Who will be Crowned Champion of the 2015 WSOP International Circuit Main Event in Marrakech?
After two tournament days and 23 levels of play, a field of 484 entries has been reduced to the last 20ß hopefuls still in contention for the 1,300,000 Dirhams first-place payout. With the action resuming at 2 p.m. local time and blinds at 10,000-20,000 and a running ante of 3,000, many of the shorter stacks are under immediate pressure.
The first two levels last 60 minutes whereas all remaining levels after that increase to 75 minutes each. Leading the field of the 20 survivors is Manuel Makiadi with 1,700,000 chips followed by Ahmed Boukaddeda (1,512,000), Ricardo Manquant (1,497,000) and Mohamed Sekkat (1,420,000). World Poker Tour National Brussels finalist Miroslav Alilovic (1,380,000) as well as Matas Cimbolas (1,135,000) are nicely placed for yet another deep run whereas Martial Blangenwitsch (400,000) is among the short stacks with 20 big blinds.
Once the final table of the last nine is reached, a short break takes place to move all remaining players into a separate room. The PokerNews team will be there to bring you all the crucial hands until a winner is crowned, so make sure to tune back in often!
