Tussle at the Top

Will Shillibier

Level 12 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Shortly before the dinner break it was Jerome Paveaux who was at the top of the chip counts, but with one level almost complete after the dinner break it is Winamax Team Pro Pierre Calamusa who has surpassed him and is now the outright chip leader with an astonishing 735,000.

It remains to be seen whether he can hold onto that chip lead towards the end of the night.

Player	Chips	Progress
Pierre Calamusa	735,000	235,000

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

One of the first eliminations after late registration closed was Winamax Team Pro Leo Margets who moved all in with a flush draw on a board, and was called by an opponent holding a jack. The flush draw didn't get there and she was eliminated.

It may not be official just yet, with organisers double-checking online entries and potential no-shows, but it's clear that the 2018 Winamax SISMIX is one of the biggest Winamax events ever held, and the biggest poker tournament ever held in Marrakech in terms of field size!
