Members of the poker media judge a poker tournament on the cost of the food. The cheaper the price the better it is. The Market Place is one of five restaurants that we are able to eat in, and all of them are free. The best way to describe this amazing restaurant is to call it an evil Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for adults. Every inconceivable type of food is available at the Market Place. It is crammed full of every delight possible. Just like Day Two of the PMU World Poker Tour (WPT) Mazagan.
Take the chip leader Clement Beauvois for example. The PMU Poker Team Pro Online who has earned over €500,000 playing online under the moniker "OhMyGuru". Beauvois is yet to transfer his skills from the virtual felt to the dirty live one – maybe this is his time to shine?
In 2008, Alain Roy won $1,463,743 at the Partouche Poker Tour Main Event. He had to defeat some of the best players in the world to take down that title, proof that he has what it takes to win a major tournament. Is it time for Roy to once again rise to the top?
Bruno Fitoussi is the owner of the famous Aviation Club de France. Fitoussi has live scores dating back to 1991 and has earned over $2.6 million in his lifetime, but a live major tournament win has thus far eluded him. Has The King got a spring back in his step? Is he ready to turn back time?
These are just three of the delights we have on display. But there are many, many others; and just like the Market Place, it is difficult to pick just one. The best one. So we think for now we will reserve judgment for just a little while longer. After all this is poker. Anything can happen.
Join us at 13:00 (WET) when we find out just how good this tournament can get.
