The first level has seen hefty movement on top of the leaderboard. Zakaria has claimed the chip lead, boasting a stack of 400,000. The dangerous Dimitri Sukhorukov, who won a WSOP Circuit Ring earlier this week, is up to 300,000.
After a raise to 4,000 and a call, action was on short stack Fabrice Halleux. When he looked at his cards, smiled back at him and he quickly moved all in for 27,000. Behind him another Fabrice, Ricci, shoved all in as well for slightly more.
Ricci held and spiked his two-outer on a board, setting a warning to other Fabrices Casano and Soulier in the process.
The tournament director has just announced the prize pool. A total prize pool of 6,668,500 MAD (€622,817) has been created by the 511 players. 55 players will finish in the money and walk away with at least 30,000 MAD (€2,802).
On Sunday night, the winner will receive the massive first price with 1,400,000 MAD (€130,755) and the coveted WSOP Circuit Ring.
Day 2 will be played until the end of level 22 or when 16 players are left, whichever comes first. That means a maximum of ten sixty-minute levels will be played today.
