Le Jour 1B du Sismix 2016 a rassemblé 294 joueurs au Casino Es Saadi de Marrakech. Seul 60 joueurs ont rallié le Jour 2 qui se déroulera samedi à partir de midi.
C'est André Mabille qui a emballé le plus de jetons lors du Jour 1B. Avec 217 000 jetons, il a tout de même fait moins bien que le chipleader belge de la journée d'ouverture. Le Marocain Rachid Amid est tout proche avec 207 900 jetons alors que Romain Lewis termine à 203 000 jetons après avoir éliminé Florence Mazet à quelques minutes de la fin de la journée avec contre pour la couvreuse pour un pot à 200 000 jetons.
Derrière Damien "Skualos" Cayet, lui aussi bien placés, cinq invités Winamax n'ont pas franchi l'obstacle : Bernard Mendy, Leo Dubois, Camel Meriem, Renato Civelli et Cédric Carrasso ont sauté. Le footballeur Guillaume Gillet sera lui au Jour 2 avec 145 000 jetons. Belle journée aussi pour François "Set_44" Pirault qui a emballé 167 000 jetons.
Le Jour 1C qui permettra lui aussi un re-entry, débute vendredi à midi. C'est la dernière chance de rejoindre les qualifiés pour le Jour 2.
