12 Ring-Awarding Events Scheduled at WSOPC Marrakech; First Event Jan. 10
Table Of Contents
The Casino de Marrakech at the luxurious Es Saadi Marrakech Resort in Morocco again plays host to the World Series of Poker International Circuit between January 10-19. During the ten-day poker extravaganza, 12 coveted WSOPC rings will be won, including one in the eagerly-anticipated WSOPC Marrakech Main Event.
January 10 sees the first of 12 WSOPC ring-awarding events shuffle up and deal, the No-Limit Hold’em Opener. It features a trio of starting flights, each costing the equivalent of β¬400, and crowns its champion on January 12 during Day 2. Last year, Frederik Thiemer outlasted 688 opponents on his way to capturing MAD 500,000 ($50,887).
The ring events come thick and fast throughout WSOPC Marrakech, each complemented by affordable side events. The MAD 15,000 (β¬1,350) buy-in Main Event is the tournament everyone heading to Morocco wants to win, and the PokerNews live reporting team is covering it from Day 1A on January 16 through to the worthy champion being crowned on January 19.
This year’s WSOPC Marrakech Main Event has a trio of Day 1s, including a late-night Day 1C on January 17. Then, it heads into Day 2 and then a third and final day, which runs from 1:00 p.m. local time on January 19.
Expect a bumper crowd to turn out for the Main Event if the 2024 edition is anything to go by. Twelve months ago, 1,163 players bought in and created a MAD 14,893,000 ($1,513,847) prize pool. British grinder Max Deveson was the last man standing. His reward? MAD 2,150,000 ($218,543) and a WSOPC ring.

2024 WSOPC International Marrakech Ring-Awarding Event Results
The 2024 WSOPC Marrakech was a roaring success. Frederik Thiemer, mentioned earlier, looks back fondly on this series, having captured not one but two gold WSOPC rings. First, Thiemer triumphed in the Opener for $50,887, then bagged the $17,227 and a WSOPC ring in the PKO High Roller.
Switzerland’s Dinesh Alt won the High Roller, navigating past 388 opponents to bank the equivalent of $122,773.
As mentioned, Max Deveson was the festival’s biggest winner, thanks to his $218,543 reward for becoming the Main Event champion. Deveson has since cashed in events held in South Africa, Cambodia, Madagascar, Ireland, and Spain. Perhaps you’d do the same if you secured a six-figure prize and a sought-after WSOPC ring?
