FPS Sunfest Mazagan: Victory of the local player Karim El Rharbaoui
Last weekend, the France Poker Series (FPS) made a stopover in Morocco after those of Evian, Amnéville and Arcachon. The organizers chose the Mazagan Beach Resort to hold the meeting. The FPS Sunfest Mazagan hosted during this time a total field of 208 participants including professional poker players such as Paul Guichard, Marion Nedellec, Julien Brécard, Bertrand Grospellier, Céline Bastian, Vanessa Rousso, Sarah Herzali, Eugene Katchalov, Roger Hairabedian or Michael Oestreicher. However, none of these renowned players has been entitled. Indeed, it's a local player named Karim El Rharbaoui who were crowned.
21 years old, the young Moroccan managed to win despite the presence of these big names. He really shined in the final duel during which he faced the French Richard Ekert. His victory allowed him to pocket the first prize of 48,091. His runner-up cashed a prize of 32,273 for his second place. Patrick Renkers, Stéphane Said, Renaud Lejal, Karaca Fedayi, Cathy Serrat and Antoine Pacaud filled the list of finalists. They are respectively ranked 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th. Note that the prizepool met in this competition has been distributed to the 24 best players. Top players like Leo Truche, Mohammed Ali Houssam, Jean Paul Pasqualini, Guilhem Delaporte and Franck Boyer got a share of this. After this successful passage in Morocco, the FPS will make a stopover in Paris, at the Cercle Cadet, from November 13 to 19, 2012.
