'Ignapoker' Bubbles the 2017 Winamax SISMIX Main Event

Nível 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

With a rivered set of eights, Mounim Kaddouri were the man to burst the bubble at the 2017 Winamax SISMIX Main Event

The intensity rose to a whole new level as the remaining 126 started the hand-for-hand play, and it took three instances of all-in and a call before the players in the Casino de Marrakech tournament area could go on break knowing, they had just earned themselves at least a min-cash of 11,000 MAD (€1,000).

First off it was Japanese Kazuma Fujiyama at risk, at he shoved over a raise from Javier Garcirreynaldos Barral in the cutoff. Barral made the call with , and Fujiyama needed help with . The board ran out , and a relieved Fujiyama fell back in his seat as he was awarded the pot.

The next hand Karim Benamrouche was all-in for his last 225,000 on a board. Spanish player 'Fernando' had made the call with but needed to improve to beat Benamrouche's and thus break the bubble. The river was a blank, and hand-for-hand continued.

It was instead a Spanish player with the pseudonym 'Ignapoker' that ultimately fell short of the money. Mounim Kaddouri raised to 24,000 from the button and Ignapoker had made the call out of the big blind. The Spaniard had then check-called 26,000 on the flop, before the turn was checked through. The river saw Ignapoker check a third time before Kaddouri moved all-in. Ultimately Ignapoker made the call with , but they were no good against the of Kaddouri, good for a rivered set.

Spanish player 'Ignapoker' in the seconds after bubbling the Main Event

It's not all bad for our Spanish bubble boy, though. Because the unlucky 126th place finisher was wearing a Winamax patch, he is awarded a seat in next year's edition of the Winamax SISMIX valued at 6,000 MAD. Not a bad consolation place.

Nível 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

The flop saw Lewis continue for 85,000, and once again Deyra called. The players then checked through the turn, before Lewis moved all-in for 265,000 effectively on the , leaving Deyra in quite a tricky situation.

"Let's go. You are not folding a straight, are you?" Lewis said, and the two friends exchanged quite a few laughs while Deyra contemplated whether to call off his remaining chips on the five-straight, three-flush board just four players away from the money.

Ultimately he committed the chips, and Lewis instantly said "Okay, let's chop the money," showing . A relieved Deyra turned over , and play resumed.

Winamax SISMIX Festival Turns Up the Heat and Volume

Nível 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Marrakech is as sunny and warm as ever, and with the temperature surpassing 40 degrees Celsius today, a refreshing dip in the pool or a cold beverage is very much needed. Luckily it is all within reach at the Es Saadi resort, and plenty of already busted or advanced players took advantage of that yesterday.

Take a look at what the Winamax TV Crew managed to shoot, as couscous, reggae, beers, and quizzes dominated the Friday of the SISMIX.
