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.

Two hands after arriving at the table, Loic Menneteau found pocket nines, flopped a full house, and doubled up through “Yussuke”.
With only 1,400 chips left, Yussuke moved all-in a few times over the next hands to win some blinds. Then, on the button, he opened to 200 and was called by Cameron Sinclair in the small blind.
They checked the 8♦3♦9♦ flop, leading to the A♠ turn, where Yussuke bet 300. Sinclair quickly check-called and then checked the 10♠ river.
Yussuke bet 1,000, nearly his entire stack, and managed to make Sinclair fold a nine. “I won?” Sinclair asked while folding. “Yes,” Yussuke confirmed, revealing Q♦7♠.
