Jean Montury started the day with 69,000 in chips and hasn't been able to spin that stack up. His seat was empty when we came over to his table and has since been taken by a new player. Details about the bust out of the EPT Malta champion are not available unfortunately.

The 2016 PMU.fr WPT National Marrakech started September 24th and runs till coming Sunday, October 2nd. The festival started with a slate of warm-up events, but yesterday the big boys turned up for the 20,000 MAD (�1,800/$2,060) High Roller. Today, that event continues with still 40 players left in contention. As registration remains open till start of play, that number might still grow.
The likes of Tony Dunst and Roberto Romanello gave it a shot yesterday but failed to make it last. As the dust settled after 12 levels of 40-minutes each, no Dunst or Romanello was seen on the list of players that made it through to Day 2. They still have the option to re-enter before start of play today, so they might give it another go. Even if they don't, the event is not shy of star power. Albert Peres (485,200) leads the field. Romain Lewis (149,100), Sarah Herzali (139,800), Eric Sfez (108,300), Kuljinder Sidhu (81,600), and Jean Montury (69,000) are all still in contention.
The event resumes at 4pm local time (in about 60 minutes). The first level on the schedule will be level 13 (1,500/3,000 with a 400-ante). Follow along with the action today till a winner is crowned, right here on PokerNews.com.
What's better than playing poker? Playing poker in a beautiful sunny city! Marrakech is just that!
It's 88oF (31oC) right now and the sky is as blue as they come. The ballroom where the tournament is being held is perfectly cool, but in the unfortunate case one busts, the setting is just about perfect to quickly forget the bad beats and set-ups. Es Saadi Resort, with Casino Marrakech right in the middle, has a beautiful garden, a lavish pool, and several restaurants for you to enjoy. Think about that, next time you're thinking where to go for a poker holiday.
