WPT MAZAGAN: KITAI FIZZLES, FUNDARO TAKES ADVANTAGE


The stage was set for Triple Crown winner Davidi Kitai (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: 29th). The Belgian came into final table play at WPT Mazagan with a massive chip lead. A win, and Kitai would enter the 2012 QuadJacks Poker Player of the Year Top 10 Leaderboard, pushing recent WPT Champions Club inductee Noah Schwartz out of the Top 10.

But things certainly didn't go as planned for Kitai. A few hours after the start of final table play, Kitbul would be out of the tournament, finishing fourth.

Giacomo Fundaro (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-139th) would end up winning the inaugural event in Morocco, defeating Frederic Brunet (2012 QJ/PTPR Rank: T-312nd) heads-up.

With his 11th place showing, Bruno Lopes - aka Kool Shen - continues his amazing 2012 season on the poker circuit. Lopes moves up to 35th position overall on the 2012 charts.

Bruno Fitoussi, Paul Tedeschi, Guillaume Darcourt, Charles Harvey, Sebastien Compte, Fabrice Soulier and Omar Karib all cashed in the event.
