Day 3 of the World Series of Poker International Circuit Main Event at the Casino de Marrakech began with 25 players, and it took a grueling 15 hours to crown a winner. Not quite reaching the 5 a.m. mark of last year's event, but shortly before 4 a.m. Mathieu Selides finally outlasted Anthony Rodrigues to win the 975,000 dir (€95,479) first-place prize, the result of a prior heads-up deal that saw them split the prizepool and play for 50,000 dir (€4,657) and the championship ring.
Selides came into the day third in chips but soon rocketed up the leaderboard, eliminating the first player of the day 
vs 
, and never looking back. Coming into the final table as chip leader, the Frenchman was cheered on by a raucous crowd, and despite a topsy turvy heads-up battle with Rodrigues — with both players having chances to win the match — the pair agreed to a deal and to play for the ring.
Selides was helped in no small part by the elimination of start-of-the-day chip leader Sonny Franco midway through level 25, where he was all-in and behind holding the 
against Franco's 
. The board ran out 
and the ace on the river vaulted Selides ever skywards.
The final table started with Selides holding double the chips of his nearest competitor, and the eliminations of Jonathan Khalifa (€15,369), Samir Beldjoudi (€24,218) and Joao Pinto Correia (€55,888) ensured that his chip stack was always healthy heading into the heads-up battle.
There were chances to win for both players, first Rodrigues' 
was cracked by the 
of Selides on a 
board, and then Selides' 
was beaten by Rodrigues, who held the 
on a 
board.
Eventually, after nearly four hours of heads-up play — and two hours after the players agreed a deal — it was Selides who emerged triumphant.

In the hand after the chop pot, Anthony Rodrigues moved all-in with

The crowd was the loudest it has been considering the size of Rodrigues' stack when he moved all-in, and on a board of

certainly raised a few more voices. But the 
on the river meant that Rodrigues had to settle for second place and the €90,822 payday that came with it after their earlier deal

Levels have been 75 minutes since the start of Level 26, however probably due to the fact that it is 3:30 a.m. here in Marrakech, the 32nd level of 60,000/120,000/20,000 has been reduced to just 30 minutes in length. It's practically a turbo!

There is very little in the way of action to report, with both players trading pots and each rail desperate for some action to shout about. Stacks are starting to even themselves out, with it looking increasingly likely that one hand will decide the match, as opposed to one player whittling down the other's stack
