Antoine Bernheim opened to 2,000 from early position, and received a call on the button, before Brian Fetten three-bet jammed for 19,600. Bernheim called and the button folded.
Brian Fetten: A♦K♣
Antoine Bernheim: J♠J♥
Fetten was flipping, but he couldn't have asked for much better than the K♦Q♦3♦ flop, giving him top pair and the nut flush draw.
Bernheim was now drawing to a single out bar a potential running straight, and it didn't arrive on the 7♥ turn or 5♣ river.
Charles Revil raised to 2,800 from the small blind, and Cyril Tondeaux called in the big blind.
On the A♣J♠2♦ flop, Revil continued with a bet of 2,000, only to be faced with a raise to 5,500 from Tondeaux.
Revil called to see the 8♣ turn, which was checked to the K♣ river, where Revil fired out a bet of 13,000, leading to a tap of the table and a swift fold from Tondeaux.
Mathieu Forgeneuf was raking in a triple-up, after he rivered a flush with K♣Q♣ on the 8♦7♥2♣4♣3♣ runout, with his opponent's holding A♦K♥ and J♣J♦.

There was around 38,000 in the middle on a board of K♣5♦2♦9♠2♥, in a hand between Pascal Ridet in the cutoff and Claudiu Petre on the button.
Ridet checked, and Petre jammed for 25,000. Ridet went deep into thought, seemingly pained by the decision, and he gave Petre the side-eye, trying to get some kind of read on his opponent.
Ridet clearly didn't like it, but made the call after around 90 seconds. He was shown the bad news when Petre tabled A♦K♦ for two pair, kings and twos, and Ridet mucked in a frustrated manner.
A pot of around 45,000 had developed by the river on a board of A♣J♣5♠5♣J♦, in a hand between Winamax ambassador Davidi Kitai in the big blind, and Gaetan Plassiard under the gun.
Kitai jammed for around 25,200, and Plassiard went into the tank.
After around two minutes, he flicked in a calling chip, and was shown the bad news when Kitai tabled 10♣6♣ for the turned flush.
Plassiard had A♠4♠ for two pair, ace and jacks.

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.
