Earlier, 2015 Winamax SISMIX Champion Jerome Sgorrano had a brief spell at the tables - no good. And, after spending some time "sampling the atmosphere" of the pool party, he's back for more.

On his return, we asked him what happened on his first bullet on Day 1b.

"I lasted twenty minutes," he said. "I tried to bluff a French guy - no good. After that I lost {a-}{k-} against {a-}{a-} in a four-bet pot. Finally, my ten blinds went in with {a-}{4-} against {3-}{3-}.

The flop came {k-}{q-}{q-}. I say 'Ok, that's good for me!' Turn was a {3-}!"

Sgorrano says that he has extra motivation to win the fifth edition of the Winamax SISMIX - national pride.

"There have been two French winners (Bruno Lopes & Hugo Larachiche) and two Belgian winners (Sgorrano and Davidi Kitai). I try to win it a second time. I have to! I expect it's me or a Belgian friend who will win it.

Every player who comes here goes away with good memories of the gorgeous Marrakech weather, and the atmosphere at the tables, but what does Sgorrano like most about the Winamax SISMIX?

"It's a combination of all the things," he said. "The sun? Very good. The pool parties? Very good. And it's a six-max tournament which means it's aggressive. The chips are coming and going and I like to play aggressive. I like it very much."
