Welcome to Day 1a of the Winamax SISMIX poker festival Main Event

Mwarburton

The Winamax SISMIX poker festival is back at the Casino de Marrakech in the Es Saadi Resort. Day 1a of the €500 Main Event, the first of four starting flights, kicks off today at 12:00 local time.

Players will be treated to an exciting mix of poker and off-the-felt action as the event returns to Marrakech for the first time since 2018.

Main Event Day 1a entrants will start with a stack of 50,000 chips and blinds will begin at 100/200 with a 200 big blind ante. Blind levels run for 30 minutes with a break every four levels.

Day 1a will continue for 22 levels and players will have the opportunity to re-enter each starting flight once, with today’s late registration available for the first 13 levels.

As is the trademark for all SISMIX events, the tournament will run six-handed, making for a format that is sure to encourage action.

Day	Date	Time	Levels	Breaks
1a	Thursday, May 25	12:00	22x30 minutes	Every four levels
1b	Friday, May 26	12:00	22x30 minutes	Every four levels

Winamax pro Adrian Mateos won the SISMIX Main Event in 2018 for $106,128. The following year the festival was held in Spain, where German player Tim Hartmann took down the Main Event for $112,875.

But as any veteran of the festival knows, SISMIX is as much about the parties as it is about the poker.

Today’s schedule includes a pool party with relaxed vibes from 2 p.m. and the Winamax Beer Pong Open starting at 8 p.m. Later on, from 11:30 p.m., DJ James and Bonny will be bringing the house party vibes over at Theatro. Those who bust the Main Event won’t be too disappointed. They might well get lucky elsewhere.

PokerNews will be covering the Main Event from start to finish, so stay tuned to see how the action unfolds.

Mwarburton

Nível 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

The flop came 10♣10♥Q♠. Mazerolle checked and Hachem bet 1,500. The player in the small blind got out of the way and Mazerolle made the call.

Two players went to the turn, which fell the K♠. Mazerolle checked again and Hachem bet 2,000, which Mazerolle called.

The river was the J♦. Mazerolle checked for a third time and Hachem checked back. Hachem showed K♦Q♦ for top two pair and Mazerolle mucked his hand.

That further dented Mazerolle's stack, while Hachem moved up to over 85,000 in chips.

Chilaud Makes Full House Against Opponent's Straight

Mwarburton

Nível 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was on the river after postflop betting had already inflated the pot. The board was 2♣Q♣8♠10♦8♦.

Maxime Chilaud moved all in and his opponent, nicknamed TitoAlber, made the call. TitoAlber had marginally more chips, meaning Chilaud was the player with all his chips in the middle.

Maxime Chilaud: 8♥10♥
TitoAlber: J♠9♠

TitoAlber had a straight, but Chilaud had hit two pair on the turn and made his full house on the river. He scooped a huge pot to bring his stack to over 100,000 chips and leave TitoAlber with barely anything behind.

The next hand, TitoAlber moved all in and was called by Chilaud. TitoAlber had Q♣10♥ and Chilaud had K♣3♥. TitoAlber made a straight on the river to double up. He survives for another round.

Tony You Makes Quads and Doubles Up

Mwarburton

Nível 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Tony You raised from the button and Flaviano Cammisuli three-bet. Tony You wouldn't have had much behind if he'd have called and so he pushed all in for his remaining stack. Cammisuli quickly called and players flipped the cards on their backs.

Tony You: 6♦6♣
Flaviano Cammisuli: A♥K♥

The board ran out 10♣K♦6♥6♠A♦. Cammisuli did manage to pair up on the flop and make two pair by the river. His hand was no good, however, as You had hit a set of sixes on the flop and turned quads to seal the deal. He doubled up and left Cammisuli in the danger zone.
