The rain showers of last night are gone and the sun is slowly coming out at the Casino de Marrakech Es Saadi. As usual, early starting times result in a rather slow start as most local players and poker tourists prefer to take advantage of the weather still before jumping into the poker action.
In the first level of the day, there are 41 players seated and five of them took part on Day 1A without succes. Among them is also the most well-known Spaniard in Marrakech that goes by the nickname Tsunamy. He rakes in the chips like a Hurricane quite often in Morocco and already has a 1st and 3rd place finish during the current festival.
Other notables in early action include the two Moroccans Houssine El Otmani and Fouad Zouiten.
