Saber Harrazi and Aurimas Laivys were both in the blinds and got all the money in on a flop of . Laivy's had floppd a top pair with but were in desperate need of help against Harrazi's . Neither the turn or the river dit it for the Lithuanian, and Harrazi scooped the pot.

The flop came and Harrazi check-called 35,000, before check-raising all-in for effectively 219,000 over the 77,000 chips bet on the turn.

The river changed nothing, and Harrazi reluctantly handed over all of the chips he won the hand before and then some.
Spanish player Leo Margets started the day as one of the shortest stacks of the field, and though she got off to quite a start with an early double, it was not to be for the former WSOP Main Event 27th place finisher.

A new chipleader has emerged in the 2017 Winamax SISMIX Main Event. Bruno Soutavong started the day with an already healthy-looking stack of 445,000, but after just one level of play, the Frenchman has succeeded in surpassing 700,000 chips.
