169 Players Return for Day 2 of the WSOP International Circuit Marrakech Main Event
The 169 players remaining in the 2016 WSOP International Circuit Marrakech Main Event will take to their seats later in order to win themselves a coveted WSOP gold ring and a place, as well as a ticket to the 2016 WSOP Circuit Global Championship, an invitation-only tournament with a minimum prize pool of $1,000,000 USD.
After Day 1a and Day 1b the players will join together at 14.00 p.m. local time, with Day 1a chipleader Sofian Benaissa returning with 248,300 with blinds at 800/1600/200. Alongside him will be Day 1b chipleader and French favourite Guillaume Darcourt (214,400) as well as leading Moroccan Najib Bennis (142,200).
Also returning after a day off probably spent by the pool is ex-Premier League footballer [Removed:30] (166,000), 2014 November Niner Pierre Neuville (101,400) and legendary British pro Barny Boatman (91,400).
After the first three levels of today, the levels increase in length from 45 minutes to one hour, thereby giving the smaller stacks much more play time. The prizepool will also be announced today, letting players know how many places will be paid, and letting them know what the all important first prize money is!
