Last year Day 1a in the Winamax SISMIX Main Event attracted 192 entrants. It will be close in terms of whether that figure is beat this year with currently 178 entrants and just 12 minutes to go before Level 8 - the final level of late registration - is in the books.
Less than half of the field remains with 82 players still competing in hopes to make it to Day 2 and beyond.
Davidi Katai Rollercoaster
Level 8
: 300/600, 75 ante
Davidi Kitai was at around 55,000 chips last break, but recently lost a big hand to bring him back down to near the starting chip stack of 25,000 after a hand against a Spanish player who registered just under the name "Raul". While French and Belgian players are required to disclose their full names in Morocco, such is not the case for players in Spain.
Raul began the action with 
from the small blind and bet the action once checked to him by Kitai on a 
flop. Kitai also check-called when the 
hit the turn and once again when the 
hit the river to ship a pot of around 35,000 to "Raul" and took a big chunk out of Kitai's stack.

Florian Decamps Vs. Gytis Lazaninkas Part II
Level 7
: 250/500, 50 ante
Team Winamax pro Florian Decamps has his stack now up to 65,000. In a recent hand, he once again piled up some chips against Lithuanian Gytis Lazaninkas when he flopped the world with 
on a 
flop and got calls on progressively larger bets on all three streets including a bet of 25,000 on the river. Lazaninkas mucked his hand, but Decamps speculated he likely had Ax and didn't get a higher full-house on the 
or river.
While this hand didn't eliminate Gytis Lazaninkas, he exited the tournament a short while later. He shared with those at the table that he will likely at some point re-enter.
