The 2025 Winamax SISMIX Main Event at the Casino de Marrakech delivered one of its most suspenseful finales to date. With a record-breaking 3,390 entries, predicting a winner was nearly impossible as chips changed hands constantly throughout the final day.
In the end, it was patience that proved decisive and Jérôme Crantz mastered it best to become the champion after a tense and closely fought battle with Jean-Côme Haye. Both players had held the chip lead at various stages during Day 3, but it was Crantz who ultimately claimed the trophy and the top prize of 1,700,000 MAD (approximately €163,122). Haye earned 1,200,000 MAD for his runner-up finish, while Spain’s Dario Alonso completed the podium with a third-place payout of 900,000 MAD.

Mirand Murseli opened to 800,000 from the button, and snap-called a three-bet jam from Julien Gadanho to 8,875,000 in the big blind.
Julien Gadanho: K♣Q♥
Mirand Murseli: A♣Q♣
Gadanho was crushed and Murseli's ace-queen high was good across the J♣10♣6♦2♥4♥ runout.
Although Gadanho flopped an up and down, Murseli had some of his outs, and the flush draw reduced them further.
A great run from Gadanho.

Nassim Rais opened to 800,000 from the cutoff, and was met with a three-bet to 1,650,000 from Nino Bellenger from the small blind, leaving himself only 200,000 behind.
Rais rejammed, and after a bit of stalling hoping for a payjump, Bellenger called.
Nino Bellenger: Q♦J♣
Nassim Rais: A♦8♦
Bellenger needed some help, and he found it on the K♥Q♥5♥ flop to make second pair.
However the A♣ hit on the turn to put Rais back in front, and Bellenger was not saved by the 3♣ river.
