We are now at 240 entrants with 229 of them still in their chairs hoping to make it to Day 2 and beyond.
Pool Party in 30 Minutes
Level 2

Every day during SISMIX, there not only is poker, but also music and partying. Today is no different, as players not playing in today's Day 1c, can head to the pool for a fun party and sun hosted by Claude M, Kech Experience, and PiLC.
Aurélie Quélain Back in Action
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
As she promised yesterday, Team Winamax pro Aurélie Quélain is back in action joining other late registrants on table 39 including David Laka Calzada, Kewan Bagheri, Pierre Antoine Quignard, Stephane Levy, and Phillippe Garay.

More Than 200 Players in Day 1c
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
The field has grown to 202 entrants, which is just 94 shy of the amount that participated yesterday. This is still less than half of the Day 1c field size that took place during last year's Winamax SISMIX Main Event, and tournament organizers are expecting today to feature around the same amount of participants.
Simon Vaur Eliminated
Level 2
: 75/150, 0 ante
During the first two opening days, not a single player was eliminated during the opening blind level. France's Simon Vaur bucked the trend, by busting out of the tournament right before Level 2 began.
All is not lost for Vaur. As an "award" for being the first player eliminated a seat worth 3,200 MAD (€194) to the two-day La Fièvre tournament which kicks off tomorrow.
