Robert Leads Quest to Crown Winner in Marrakech
The final day of the 2019 WSOP International Circuit Marrakech Main Event is here. Only 22 players are left after Day 2 and they will battle it out today in Casino de Marrakech in the Es Saadi Resort - Palace to figure out who will take home the first-place prize of 1,500,000 MAD (approx. €138,000).
Julien Robert sits on top of the leaderboard. He collected 1,575,000 chips on Day 2 and has the best position to win the coveted gold WSOP Circuit ring. Robert obtained some chips and started applying pressure on the players at his table. It was Robert who eventually busted Alamo Lopez on the bubble. Isabel Baltazar is chasing him in second place. She won a big three-way all-in on Day and never looked back. She starts the day with 1,541,000.
Other players that will take their seats today include Pierre Antoine Quignard (742,000), Nicolas Pacifico (633,000), Sonny Franco (589,000), and Jimmy Kebe (314,000). They all still have a shot to take home the grand prize and the gold WSOP Circuit ring.
