Louis Linard Doubles Against Lithuania's Arunas Sapitavicius
Niveau 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
While the vast majority of players in the WInamax SISMIX Main Event came to compete from France, there is also an unusually high number of players from Lithuania, a country with less than 3 million people, in the mix. One such player, Arunas Sapitavicius isn't as fairing as well today as some of the others.
In a recent hand, the action folded to Sapitavicius who completed the blinds. Louis Linard from the big blind raised the action to 6,000 chips before the Lithuanian limp-reraised to 19,000. Linard went all in for 51,500 which Sapitavicius called.
Sapitivicius turned over 
and was well behind Linard's 
and unable to catch-up when the 
appeared on the board. Sapitavicius is now holds one of the lower stacks in play, while Linard's stack surpasses six-digits to around 109,000.

Michel Abécassis Among the Latest Eliminations
Niveau 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Michel Abécassis began the day with a little less than 26 big blinds. While this isn't the biggest stack to be eliminated thus far, he is probably the most accomplished player to prematurely leave the field during Day 2.
According to The Hendon Mob, the French poker player cashed for almost $1.2 million in career poker tournament earnings which includes three World Series of Poker final table appearances.
Also exiting the tournament recently were France's Franck Simon and Spain's Blanco.

First Eliminations
Niveau 13
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
The first four eliminations were some of the smaller stacks in the tournament to start the day. Already on the rail are Neil Siguerdidjane, Hugo Fernandez, Pierre Barthelemy, and Quang Le.
At least for Siguerdidjane, his hand was more or less a coinflip with him getting his 16 blinds in the middle with 
and unable to out flip Charki Attallah's 
on the 
board.
