WPTDeepStacks Returns to Casino de Marrakech
Welcome to the World Poker Tour DeepStacks Marrakech held at the Casino de Marrakech! A little under 12 months have passed since Francois Tosques topped a 431-player field to take home MAD 1,000,000 (~€91,411 / $106,095) and the tournament is back for its third instalment under the DeepStacks banner.
Follow the Main Event every step of the way with PokerNews to see who will follow in the footsteps of Tosques and 2017 champion Smain Mamouni in winning the WPTDeepStacks Marrakech title.
With an entry of 13,200 MAD (~€1,230), Day 1a gets underway later today at 16:00 local time. Players will receive 30,000 chips and levels are 40 minutes long, increasing to 60 minutes on Day 2.
There are ten levels of late registration and re-entry for people to jump into the tournament. If the schedule is the same as last year, there will be 15-minute breaks after every three levels, and a 75-minute dinner break at the end of Level 6.
