The Golden Poker Million Marrakech, scheduled to be held March 13-22 in the Casino de Marrakech in the Es Saadi Resort, was canceled on Saturday due to the ongoing coronavirus scare. The cancelation is the latest in a series of mass-cancelations of high-profile events across the globe in recent days, such as the SXSW festival in Austin, Texas.
In a statement released by the direction of the Casino de Marrakech on March 7, the host tour said that "for reasons beyond their will" the event will be off the calendar.
