The Winamax SISMIX poker festival, running at Casino de Marrakech in the Es Saadi Resort, continues today with Day 1b, the second of four starting flights in the 5,500 MAD Main Event. Day 1b kicks off at 12 p.m. local time.
Day 1a drew a massive 677 entries — a 20% increase over last year and a record-breaking number. Alexis Geffroy “ran good from the beginning to the end” to top the first flight. He bagged for 1,123,000 chips and is the player to beat heading into Day 1b. Guillaume Colas bagged in second with just under one million (927,000), while Winamax Team Pro and 2014 SISMIX champion Davidi Kitai sits in third.

Day 1b will feature 30-minute blind levels with 50,000 deep starting stacks. The flight plays down to the money and those who bag will return for Day 2. Players can take a single entry and re-entry to each starting flight. On Day 2, blind levels increase to 35-minutes on Day 2, while Day 3's struture will be even more generous with 40-minute blinds.
Of course, SISMIX is as much about the off-the-felt fun as it is about the poker. Today's highlights include the daily pool party, beer pong competition and for those who want more, a night in the legendary Theatro club.

At Jérémy Cauchard's table, the action was picked up on a board of 7♦6♣5♥2♥10♥ with roughly 23,000 in the pot.
The player in the big blind bet 10,000, putting the under-the-gun player in a tough spot. He went deep into the tank, and eventually made the call with J♣J♠.
His opponent quickly showed 10♠10♦ for a set hit on the river. The under-the-gun player couldn't hide his frustration and sent his cards into the muck.
