Day is over!

35 players remain out of 45. The average is around 39,000 and the blinds will start at 150/300 with 25 ante tomorrow.

Top 5 places are paid, first getting a little over 1,600,000 Dirham, which would be then a little less than 160,000 Euros.

Play continues tomorrow at 3pm local time, which is 17:00(CET).

Hope to see you all there and let's hope for some more fireworks ;)

Nazgul has 42,000
Ace0nTheRiver 31,000
Bongbob 32,000 but said it was almost 33,000!

Psychobenny busted out with a flush against a higher flush right before the day ended.

It's five past three and almost half of the players haven't arrived yet and the tournament hasn't started yet.

Welcome to Marrakech!

Nazgul for Team PokerStrategy.com

He's gonna make a bet! He didn't win the hand though. :(

Dinner is from 20u-22u (22u-24u for you guys).
I wonder how much time the players will get to eat. I wouldn't be suprised if they would manage to send them on dinner break 15 minutes before the buffet ends.

The buffet is quite nice actually, considering morroco's standards.

Nazgul took down a big pot!

I arrived when all 5 cards where already on the board

The pot was about 24.5k.
Nazgul checked.
His opponent took a long time to think and bet 15k.
Nazgul looked pretty unsure but eventually made the call.

Villain knocked on the table indicating: good call and turned over Ah9h.
Nazgul flipped over A5.
He told his table that he was prety sure the other guy was bluffing, but he was worried that villain had turned a pocket pair into a bluff and would still win the hand after he got called.

In London there where water machines all over the poker room.
Here there's red bull everywhere. Also a nice contrast.
They're evening handing them out to everyone, taking pictures with you and the red bull.

I'm wondering what the effect on the coverage would be if I had like 10.
There is no way I'm ever gonna find out though.

Fabstinho is on his way to the casino to play some cashgames.
I hope he wins big, shouldn't be to hard here.

Nazgul is getting a lot of action. He first took up a small bot with a turn bet, showing a Q for Top Pair when everyone folded.

Then I arrived just in time to see a check-check on the turn.

Nazgul checks again and villain makes a bet.

This was the pot

Lots of information fishing from Nazgul.
Villain let him know he didn't hit on the river and he had him on the flop but he didn't bet because he didn't want to scare him off the hand.
Somebody else asked if villain would show if Nazgul folded. Villain said no to which Nazgul immediatly said: You will have to show, I call.

Nazgul showed KK and villain had 9To.
Nazgul did not look happy.

Nazgul had to let another one go.

He openraised preflop from something like MP and got 2 callers.
He cbet and got called by the BB.

On this turn card his opponent almost instashoves.
He had just asked Nazgul why he didn't gave the guy with the 9T hand any respect when he called with KK.

Nazgul asked the guy if he thought he was steaming. The dealer had to translate it .

After a while, Nazgul folded ATo face up. His opponent didn't want to show.
Nazgul: "You don't show? I guess I had the best hand then"
Villain: "2 pair and flushdraw"
Nazgul: "A3 of clubs right?"
Villain: "yeah"

27 players are now playing on the last 3 tables.

Bongbob is giving me some facial expressions to tell me he's bored but I think could figure that out from a mile away.

Bongbob: "My table is so *beep* bad but I just don't get any hands to play with".

Still better than getting good hands but getting sucked out like Nazgul.

I really have no idea of the hands AceOnTheRiver played. His stack seems to be growing and growing.

We're gonna have a break soon. More info after that.

So stupid I actually lol'ed

Turns out Nazgul got his 3bet coldcalled by T9o when he had Kings.
He then cbet the flop, got raised and called. You should know the rest of the action.

He was pretty excited about the A5 hand as well. That was a reraised pot as well.

Konstantin Bücherl also known as Bongbob is out in 21st place.
The money went all in preflop and he had AJs vs 44.
Flop gave him 4 outs more as any Q would now give him a straight.
He was unable to hit.
He seemed really disappointed. I chose not to bother him and let him go home in peace.

Cheer up Tini!

I didn't know it was phsyically possible for Fabstinho to smile this big.
He's playing cashgames here at the casino.
He says he's down 3k but he's really enjoying the experience.

"Unknown guy is not impressed by me being impressed by Fabstinho being impressed"

Belgians pride Davidi Kitai just busted in 19th place and we are down to 2 tables.
Nazgul has only 16.5k left. He lost a big pot with AT vs JT when villain made trip jacks.
