Ils étaient finalement 179 à avoir choisi la journée d'ouverture du Sismix 2016 (6000 dirahms - 550€ - 20000 jetons - 45 minutes - 1 re-entry par jour) soit une légère baisse comparé à l'an dernier. Ils ne sont que 38 à avoir survécu aux 12 niveaux au programme !
Après les victoires de Davidi Kitai en 2014 et de Jérôme Sgorrano en 2015, c'est encore un Belge qui a animé le tournoi. Cheng-Wei Yin a terminé le Jour 1A en tête du classement provisoire avec 307 500 jetons pour le Jour 2 qui se déroulera samedi.
Cheng-Wei Yin était clairement en tête à la pause dîner et n'a pas ralenti ensuite pour finir devant Salem "SLMFreeman" Sahed, dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi. Le Français spécialiste de Twitch termine 272 900 après avoir sorti Romain Lewis et martyrisé sa table lors du dernier niveau. Salem emballe 272 900 jetons, juste devant Sofiene Belaid qui complète le podium provisoire avec 215 900 jetons.
Le jeune Arthur Conan s'installe en 4e place du chipcount de la journée avec 181 800 jetons alors que Said El Yousfi, vainqueur d'un WSOP Circuit et toujours en réussite au Es Saadi de Marrakech, termine lui avec 120 000 jetons pour figurer aussi dans le Top 10. Bonne journée aussi pour le Team Pro Winamax Florian Decamps (95 500) ou encore Maxime Chilaud alias Daghemuneguu (101 800). Julien "Kinshu" Bochereau, Corentin Ropert, Michel Abécassis, Jean-Michel "Doyoubelieve" Texier" et le tenant du titre ont eux aussi franchi l'obstacle.
Alors que le tournoi a démarré avec une cinquantaine de joueurs présents, il n'y a pas eu de sortant lors du premier niveau. L'action a été frénétique ensuite avec deux éliminations par exemple pour Davidi Kitai. Hugues Mazouaud a lui été le premier éliminé du jour. Même verdict pour Louis Linard, Brian Benhamou, Moundir Zoughari, Alex Luneau, Gilbert Diaz ou Saber Harrazi qui devront retenter leur chance
Le Jour B débute à midi et l'affluence devrait être un peu plus importante que lors du Jour 1A. La soirée Blanche au Théatro de la nuit dernière devrait tout de même provoquer quelques inscriptions tardives...

With 20 minutes left on the day, Salem Sahed is among the chipleaders on the day. He shared with us that some of his good fortune was on behalf of a hand against Romain Lewis.
Lewis with from late position 3-bet a pot to 8,000 which Sahed cold-four bets from the blinds to 15,000 with . Lewis calls leading to a flop of giving Sahim a flush-draw and Lewis top-pair which both players check.
The on the turn complete's Sahed's flush at which point he leads out for 10,000 which Lewis calls. The improving Lewis' hand, but also making it more likely that his opponent would be holding a flush. Sahed this time starts the action by declaring all-in, which effectively was a 20,000 chip bet due to what Lewis still had left behind.
Lewis tanks before calling off the rest of his chips. He shared that he would be back to re-enter tomorrow to compete again in hopes of making it to Day 2.

While there is a little more than 30 minutes left to play in Day 1a of the Main Event, players still in the High Roller could be in for a much longer evening with the eight players remaining battling it out to make the six-max final table. The tournament is expected to finish this evening and it could still be several hours until a winner is crowned.
Lithuania's Gytis Lazaninkas shared with us that he travels a bit to play poker since he is too young to play in casinos in his home country. On his second bullet he rebuilt his stack and credits this on catching bluffs. Mathieu in seat one confirms this stating he was one of Lazaninkas' victims.
Mathieu asked if it was possible to get a beer and then said, "Watch this, time to bust out." He tossed in a raise from early position to 3,500 preflop and everyone folded. The table laughed when Mathieu admitted he would have to wait longer to get a beer.
Also on the same table is Florian Decamps who basically shared that unlike before when his stack was wildly fluctuating, right now he is playing small ball.

Every time we catch up with Cheng-Wei Yin two things happen. His chip stack gets bigger, and he has no explanation to how this has happened other than continuously winning small pots.
Yin did share with us that he entered on Level 4 after busting the Highroller earlier today. He thought it was going to be a short day losing half his stack before battling back and then some.
While he shared once again, "no special hands today," he this time qualified that by sharing, "The one time I got pocket aces everyone folds."
With still about 55 minutes to play anything can happen, but as things stand now, Yin will be the likely chip-leader to end the day.
