The first six-figure stacks have emerged on Day 1A of the 2018 WPTDeepStacks Marrakech Main Event and Sadate Jilali (pictured above) was the first to get up to four times the starting stack. Jilali has since lost a few chips, allowing Kalidou Sow to catch up and become the unofficial joint-chip leader heading into the 75-minute dinner break at the end of level six.

In one of the last hands of the level, Sow raises the button and picks up two callers. On the flop, the action checks to Sow and he continues for 1,300. Only the player in the big blind calls and the turn and the river are checked through. Sow turns over the and that wins the pot.
