Avec 12 niveaux de 45 minutes au programme de la journée, la partie a commencé doucement malgré la fraîcheur de la ville marocaine. Les joueurs ont pris leur temps pour arriver aux tables... avant d'arriver en masse.
Barny Boatman a utilisé 3 entrées pour passer l'obstacle et emballer 31 600, une journée compliquée à l'opposé de celle de Sarah Herzali. La Team Pro PMU Poker a monté 160 000 ce qui ne lui permet tout de même pas de figurer aux avant-postes. Fabrice Soulier s'en est par exemple mieux tiré dans le clan tricolore. Fabsoul a terminé sur les talons de Stonr g avec un tapis de 241 400 jetons. Une superbe profondeur puisque le Jour débutera samedi sur les blindes 1000/2000 (ante 300).
Regulard de Marrakech, le Belge Soufiane Abbouti termine dans le Top 5 alors que la journée a aussi été bonne pour le vainqueur EPT Jean Montury (151,000) ou le vainqueur du tournoi d'ouverture du WSOPC Marrakech, Dimitry Sukhorukov (147,000). Dimitri Halliez (134,8k) et Dominique Terzian (121k) n'ont pas à se plaindre non plus.
Le Jour 1B débute à 14 heures, heure française et les participants recevront eux aussi un tapis de 30 000 jetons à faire fructifier lors des 540 minutes de jeu au programme. L'action est à suivre en direct sur PokerNews.

All Smiles Between Sukhorukov and Herzali
Niveau 12
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Rodrigo Strong opened to 4,000 from early position and Dimitry Sukhorukov three-bet to 11,100 in middle position. Right behind him, Sarah Herzali four-bet small to 21,000. Strong got out of the way and Sukhorukov splashed the extra chips in.
Both players stared profusely at either other, then burst out laughing. It was all smiles as the dealer dealt the 
flop. Sukhorukov checked, keeping his eyes locked on Herzali. The French pro bet 13,000 and tried to keep here composure, but upon seeing Sukhorukov's stare she couldn't hold back her laugh again.
Sukhorukov folded 
face-up and blew Herzali a kiss, which got received surprisingly well. The atmosphere is casual here in Marrakech as the day draws to a close.
