Kanit Passes the Time on the High Roller Bubble
Level 7
: 300/600, 600 ante
"This guy," said Mustapha Kanit, pointing at Aladin Reskallah, "Is a Top Shark."
"This guy," he continued, pointing at Davidi Kitai, "Has been a crusher for 15 years.
"I'm special," he said modestly, before pointing out Romain Lewis. "But this guy wins a reality TV show?"
The Italian Winamax Team Pro was referring to Lewis' victory in the sixth season of La Maison Du Bluff, and was passing the time on the direct bubble of the Winamax SISMIX High Roller.
"He's [Lewis] the best guy on the team, apart from maybe ten or eleven people(!)" said Kanit with a grin.
"That's the thing with Musta," said Lewis. "When he's not got a stack he's all quiet and sulking. Now he's got a big stack he's all mouth."
A short while later, Aladin Reskallah was involved in a three-way pot, with one player all-in preflop. After waiting for the other hands, Reskallah turned over two pair which was enough to send the player to the rail, bursting the bubble and guaranteeing the remaining 33 players €1,520.

Updated Chip Counts
Level 6
: 250/500, 500 ante
On a 
board, Jerome Sgorrano check-called 2,000 but folded to a bet of 5,000 on the 
river. That sees him drop down below starting stack but there is still plenty of time to run up a stack.
After losing half of his stack after folding a set, Teunis Kooij's rebuilding process is still in its infancy, whereas Leo Margets has rocketed up the chip counts since entering at the break.

Another SISMIX, Another Record?
Level 6
: 250/500, 500 ante
This tournament is going to be big. Very big. Last year's figure of 1,252 set a new record for the SISMIX and now here in Spain, and even with the tournament now more of a freezeout than originally planned, that number already looks under threat.
They also have the added Day 1d Turbo late on Friday night to boost their numbers even futher.
