2015-2016 WSOP International Circuit Marrakech
Heads-up play has just gotten under way after the two players have posed for photos. The ring is out and early goings seem to have all the hallmarks of a long and protracted deepstacked heads-up match.
They've done the maths and Anthony Rodrigues will be entering heads-up play with a more than 2:1 chip advantage over Mathieu Selides. As is customary there is a short break to reset the table and to organise the players ahead of heads-up play, and then we will play down to a winner!

The crowd were on their feet around the table as all-in and call was announced by the tournament officials. Rodrigues had opened to 120,000 and Pinto had shoved from the big blind. Rodrigues made the call.
Pinto:
Rodrigues:
The flop made a chop very likely as it came , and the turn of the meant that a six or any card higher than a seven would mean a split pot for the pair, or a three for the outright win for Rodrigues knocking Pinto out. However the river came and the two split the pot
One of the bigger pots without an all-in just occured between the two big stacks. Preflop Anthony Rodrigues raised to 120,000 and was three-bet by Mathieu Selides. Rodrigues called and then called Selides' bet of 240,000 on a board of . He then called another Selides bet on the turn and both players checked the river. Rodrigues showed and won the pot and in doing so opened up a slight gap between him and Selides in second place.
Meanwhile Correia shoved over Selides' open and got through. He has replaced Chergui as the resident short stack looking for that all important bubble to get back into contention
