The 2025 WSOPC Main Event Kicks Off Today in Marrakech
What better way to start the year than by winning WSOP Circuit rings under the sun of Marrakech? That’s exactly what the Casino de Marrakech inside the beautiful Es Saadi Resort is offering, hosting the 2025 edition of the World Series of Poker Circuit Marrakech.
From the 10th until the 19th of January, 12 WSOPC rings are up for grabs. Players have already won some over the past few days, such as Andrew Hawkins, who took down the 4,500 MAD Opener for 484,000 MAD.
While side events will crown new champions, all eyes are now on the 15,000 MAD (€1,350) WSOPC Main Event, which starts today with Day 1a. Last year, Max Deveson won the Main Event ring out of a field of 1,163 entrants for 2,150,000 MAD (approximately €200,000). He is back in Marrakech this year, hoping for a back-to-back win.
