What started rather slowly turned into a reentry festival for the 2016 Marrakech Poker Open Main Event. With a buy-in of 10,000 Moroccan dirhams (MAD), 220 entries generated a prize pool of 1.914 million MAD to be split among the top 27 spots. A minimum cash is worth 18,000 MAD, and the winner can look forward to a payday of 440,000 MAD on Sunday.
These numbers convert to approximately $200,000 for the prize pool, $1,850 for a min-cash, and $45,600 for the winner.
After 13 levels of 45 minutes each, it was Anas Tadini who bagged up the most chips with 330,000.
