The action was caught as Raul Gordo had moved all in from the button and received a snap-call from Luca Delerm, in the big blind.
Raul Gordo: K♣Q♣ 
Luca Delerm: A♣A♠
The flop breathed some life into Gordo as it came Q♦6♣8♠, however, the J♠ turn and A♥ didn't improve him and he was sent to the rail.

Paul Beccari opened to 2,200,000 from under the gun, then Aurelien Guiglini raised all-in with a bigger stack. He made everybody fold to Beccari, who called for his last 275,000.
Paul Beccari: 10♠10♣
Aurelien Guiglini: A♣Q♣
The dealer fanned a board of J♠9♥7♠3♠6♥, and Beccari's tens held so he doubled up.

Romain Lewis: A♣J♥
Kaabat's nines held on a board of 7♠5♣K♥4♥. But the A♦ river landed on the felt and Kaabat became the first player eliminated today.

The Winamax SISMIX Marrakech Main Event at Casino de Marrakech in the Es Saadi Resort, here in Morocco, continues today with Day 3 of the 5,500 MAD Main Event. Of the 2,736 entries that were made, only 24 will be returning this morning as the tournament is played down to a winner.
This world record-breaking six-max event generated a massive prize pool of 12,610,400 MAD with a grand total of 1,500,000 AMD (approximately €140,000) set to find its way into the winner's pocket.
Of the finalists, it is Thomas Ristorcelli who bagged the all-important chip lead and will be taking through a stack of 14,375,000 for the Day 3 restart this afternoon, at 12:30 p.m. Ristorcelli is nearly two million chips clear of his closest opponent Kasra Rashidi and Hedi Boussetta who will be taking through 12,875,000 and 12,850,000 respectively; the only three players so far to have eclipsed the eight-figure chip mark.

The campaign for a Winamax Team Pro member to take down this SISMIX event is still in full swing with Romain Lewis bagging a top ten stack for the second day in a row. Lewis had less than 700,000 after the dinner break, but after a double up and triple up just a few minutes apart, and a few premium pocket pairs, he eventually ended up qualifying for Day 3 with 6,800,000.
