Day 2 Started
In just half and hour, action will resume in the 2016 Winamax SISMIX Main Event, as the 195 players out of the 901 entrants participating in the first three flights are getting ready for battle for the next two days.
More than half of the remaining field - or 113 players - are expected to finish in the money which will be worth at least double the 6,000 MAD (€550) buy-in. However, while the top prizes have yet to be announced, players will be eyeing the big money up top. Last year's winner Jerome Sgorrano from Belgium won the top prize of €70,000 and due to 29 more players this year this prize could be even bigger.
Currently it is Day 1A chip leader Cheng-Wei Yin from Belgium sitting on top of the field with a healthy 307,500 chip stack with blinds set to resume at 1,000/2,000 and an ante of 300. Also very much in the hunt are France's Salem Sahed (second place - 272,900), Lithuania's Nikita Staroverov (third place - 243,700), France's Mohamed El Berrak (fourth place - 243,200), and local Moroccan Hafid Kinany Alaoui (fifth place - 215,900).
According to the big board, the average chip stack is currently at 129,473 chips, representing about 21.5 big blinds. Even though there are many short-stacks in play, there is plenty of time for players to get in the mix as blind levels are 50 minutes for Day 2 as compared to the 45 minute levels present in the first three opening flights.
The tournament director will announce at some point today whether play will end today at Level 22 or Level 24. There will be a longer-than-normal 2 1/2 hour dinner break to accommodate those that wish to watch the Champions League Final between Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid at 7:45 p.m. local time.
Stay tuned to our live reporting here at PokerNews for updates throughout the day.

The tournament director informed us that 11 50-minute levels will be played today starting with Level 13 with blinds at 1,000/2,000 and an ante of 300.
Four 15 minute breaks will take place after Levels 14, 16, 18, and 22 with a 2 1/2 hour dinner break scheduled for after Level 20.
The tournament director also announced that payouts will be released shortly, and we will share this information as soon as it becomes public.
Cards are now in the air. The average stack of 92,410 represents a little more than 46 big blinds to start the day.
We expect the average number of big blimpnds to decrease significantly as the money bubble approaches.
Level: 13
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 300
As we were previously told, 113 players will be paid out. However, the min cash is slightly less than double the buy-in at 11,000 MAD which converts to about €1,000.
The total payouts of 4,703,200 MAD or approximately €433,500 and the top prize are record highs for a Winamax SISMIX Main Event of 850,000 MAD or approximately €78,000.
The first four eliminations were some of the smaller stacks in the tournament to start the day. Already on the rail are Neil Siguerdidjane, Hugo Fernandez, Pierre Barthelemy, and Quang Le.
At least for Siguerdidjane, his hand was more or less a coinflip with him getting his 16 blinds in the middle with and unable to out flip Charki Attallah's on the board.

Michel Abécassis began the day with a little less than 26 big blinds. While this isn't the biggest stack to be eliminated thus far, he is probably the most accomplished player to prematurely leave the field during Day 2.
According to The Hendon Mob, the French poker player cashed for almost $1.2 million in career poker tournament earnings which includes three World Series of Poker final table appearances.
Also exiting the tournament recently were France's Franck Simon and Spain's Blanco.
