Day 2 of the Winamax SISMIX Main Event, the largest tournament field ever in Africa, kicks off at midday with players' main goal being to make the money, and then set themselves up for a potentially huge score.

Raphel Loiseau (747,000) was left trailing in his wake yesterday, as was Day 1a chip leader Mantas Petrauskas (643,000) and Day 1b chip leader Jean Chenonier (611,000).
Other big names still in contention include Winamax Team Pros Adrian Mateos (309,000), Sylvain Loosli (294,000) and Michel Abecassis (180,000), last year's final tablist [Removed:445] (423,000), Paul-Francois Tedeschi (287,000) and Anas Tadini (161,000).
