The 2016 PMU.fr WPT National Marrakech Main Event Kicks Off Sept. 30
The PMU.fr World Poker Tour National Marrakech kicks off in two weeks, running Sept. 24 through Oct. 2. The Main Event is a three-day 13,200 MAD (approximately �1,200/$1,350) single reentry event held Sept. 30 till Oct. 2.
The Main Event boosts a guaranteed �300,000 prize pool and promises to be once again very busy. Players will start with a 30,000 starting stack and levels will be 60 minutes long (first level: 50/100). Players have the option to reenter once within the first eight levels of play.
The World Poker Tour has had a presence in the famous Moroccan city since 2009. After three regular World Poker Tour Main Events and a one year hiatus, the tour returned as World Poker Tour National Event in 2013. The tournament attracts huge numbers, with a lot of local poker fanatics and French players competing in the event.
PokerNews.com will be on-site to deliver you all the Main Event updates one can ask for, and will be covering the final table of the High Roller on Sept. 29.
