The 5,500 MAD Main Event of the Winamax SISMIX poker festival at the Casino de Marrakech in the Es Saadi Resort, here in Morocco, continues today with Day 1c, which is set to kick off today at 12 p.m. local time.
As Day 1b drew to a close last night, a record-breaking total of 824 entries amassed by the conclusion of late registration, the largest in flight in SISMIX history, of which 136 players bagged and tagged for the Day 2 restart on Saturday. It was Anas Tadini who bagged the overall chip lead, taking through a massive 1,042,000. Tadini was the only player yesterday to eclipse the one million chip mark, with his closest competitor being Matthieu Lamagnere, who will be taking through a stack of 997,000.
Lamagnere will be looking to improve upon his impressive record set in 2017 as he won the SISMIX High Roller and finished second and third in Winamax Poker Open Main Events.
