Dia 1a Iniciado
Welcome to Day 1a the Winamax SISMIX in what is already an exciting week of poker, mixing the sunny beaches of the Costa Brava with the poker and joie de vivre that has become synonymous with Winamax and their festivals.
A new location has done nothing thus far to convince organizers that this festival is going to be as great a success as the one twelve months ago when Winamax Team Pro Adrian Mateos took down the SISMIX title in Marrakech. He defeated a field of 1,252 to take home 1,000,000 MAD (~€89,000).
Now on home soil, it remains to be seen whether Mateos could yet go back-to-back!
Today is the first of four starting flights, with entry €500 and players receiving 50,000 chips. There will be 16 levels of late registration, with Day 1 concluding at the end of Level 20. Players are allowed one re-entry per flight.

Cards are in the air on Day 1a of the Winamax SISMIX Main Event! Good luck, bonne chance and buena suerte to everyone playing over the next few days.
Due to the number of players expected here at the SISMIX, organizers have had to make several changes to the Main Event and other tournaments.
For those wishing to play on Day 1a, it is only possible to register for a waiting list (you will not be able to play immediately). Day 1b and 1c are almost full, but the last tickets are expected to go today. Registration for Day 1d is still open.
In a change to the schedule, Day 1a, 1b and 1c will be freezeout with no re-entry possible. Re-entry into Day 1d will be possible, subject to availability.

Unusually for Jerome Sgorrano, you could have walked past his table and not noticed him. The 2015 champion's long hair was hidden under a baseball cap - definitely blink and you miss him - as opposed to being his usual noisy, friendly, charismatic Belgian self.
"It's a disguise," he said smiling, before admitting that he will need to adapt to the tournament's new freezeout format. "I've seen lots of friends from around Europe. People who have driven here instead of having to fly [to Marrakech.
"I expect not to bust! Otherwise, I'll just have to go to the swimming pool!"
