Farid Yachou’s  story with the WPT is simply amazing. The Moroccan is the reigning champion of the Tournament of Champions that kicks-off today live from the Seminole Hard Rock. Farid became champion in 2016 but the most impressive thing is that it was just his second cash ever.

As you may remember the WPT ToC is reserved only for former WPT champions and Hall of Fame members so Farid won his seat by winning the 2015 WPT Amsterdam.

In his debut, two years ago, the Moroccan player defeated 341 rivals and won $225,073 dollars. Of course he also won the right to play the Tournament of Champions. He won the prestigious tournament, with some of the best players of the world fighting for the title, for a $381,600 cash.

Also in 2016 Yachou won an spectacular Corvette and a seat for the Tournament of Champions that kicks-off today. You may follow the action through CodigoPoker. Our team is already at the Seminole Hard Rock with all the information live in Spanish and Portuguese.
