France's Christopher Marcadet won the Main Event of the PokerStars Open Aix-en-Provence, which ended on Sunday, November 8, and collected €130,000. The €1,100 buy-in tournament was held at the Pasino Grand in Aix-en-Provence, together with Texapoker.

The event drew 859 entries, 374 of them re-entries, and the prize pool reached €824,640. In all, 129 players reached the money.

Marcadet began the final day in eighth place among the nine finalists, with 1,510,000 chips, about 25 big blinds. Omar Lakhdari came in with a clear lead at 91 big blinds but finished fifth for €34,000 after gradually losing the chip lead. At three-handed, Marcadet knocked out Jordan Ayasse (€62,000) and then won heads-up against John Rezzonico.

Rezzonico, from Switzerland, took second for €87,000. According to PokerNews France, his recorded live results before this event did not exceed $2,000. Marcadet, known as a streamer under the alias ChrizzCasual, had already won a tournament in Bratislava in 2023 and placed second at the Venetian in Las Vegas in 2022, with smaller prizes than the one in Aix-en-Provence.

In the other events, Nikolai Mamut won the €5,000 Super High Roller (30 entries) for €55,000, Maxence Benoulha took the Mystery Bounty Cup (435 entries) for €27,400, and Gabi Livshitz won the €2,200 High Roller for €50,440.
