🏆 TAPIO KAAPO EINARI WINS THE HENDON MOB CHAMPIONSHIP IN MARRAKECH! 🇫🇮

History has been made at Casino de Marrakech as Tapio Kaapo Einari takes down the very first edition of The Hendon Mob Championship ever held in North Africa!

After an impressive 11 hours of poker action and a field of 193 entries, Tapio Kaapo Einari emerged victorious, taking home 116,000 MAD following a heads-up deal with runner-up 'CTB', who secured 106,000 MAD.

But that's not all! Alongside the prize money and the iconic Hendon Mob trophy, the winner also received an added €2,000 package for The Hendon Mob Championship in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 2027!

A fantastic start to the Irish Open Marrakech 2026 and another memorable moment for the poker scene in Morocco.

Congratulations, Tapio! What a way to make history! 👏

APT行く人は、日本にいるうちにLuxon Payをインストールして一度サインインしておくのがおすすめ。賞金をLuxon Payで受け取って日本の銀行の外貨口座などに送金できます。少し手数料はかかるけど、大金取っても現金を持ち歩かずに済むし、現金→現金の両替よりは安く済むはず。

On Monday's return to the airwaves, Matt Berkey revealed that an extended legal dispute with @SolveForWhyTV co-founder Christian Soto was a major factor behind the @OnlyFriends_Pod hiatus – and things did not end amicably.

I like this clip about the Phil Laak record more - https://t.co/5CvRbeJMqj

[Poker Clips @pokerclipsx]

In 2010, Phil Laak played poker for 115 hours straight and broke the world record.

On June 2, he sat down at a $10/$20 no-limit game at the Bellagio, and he didn’t plan on getting up anytime soon.

To break the record, he had to pass 72 hours. He was allowed one 5-minute break an hour. He had no caffeine, just a spoonful of amino acids now and then. Every dollar he raised went to Camp Sunshine, a camp for kids with life-threatening illnesses.

Hours 37 and 67 nearly broke him. At hour 72, he started to feel better. It helped that his partner, Jennifer Tilly, was by his side, even taking shifts on the crew that documented everything for Guinness.

Around hour 77, he was down $17K. Then he got it all in with pocket aces against Antonio Esfandiari’s queens. They ran it four times, the aces held every time, and the Bellagio poker room went wild.

Then he just kept playing. He finally stopped at 115 hours, 43 hours past the old record, and walked away $6,766 up.

16 years later, Guinness still lists him as the record holder.

Looking forward to spending a total of 25 hours on planes to get to Taipei for the #APTC2026
