Matthew Finds the Fold
Niveau 11
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Michel Matthew was deep in the tank when we made it to table #8. Matthew had fired 23,000 on the river of a 
board, but Jean-Pierre Besancon had made it 80,000 total behind him, and Matthew clearly wasn't sure what to do.
Ultimately time was called on Matthew, and he spend every single one of the sixty seconds contemplating his decision, before letting his hand go right before his hand was declared dead by the floor.

Leo Margets Busts in Spectacular Fashion
Niveau 11
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
Leo Margets made it 5,100 to go from first position, and both Sulvain Meriguet behind her and Pierre Nieto on the button made the call. Margets continued for 8,200 on the 
flop, Meriguet made it 20,500 before Nieto three-bet to 57,000. Margets moved in for some additional chunk change (62,900 total), Meriguet made the call, and though Nieto was eager to get more chips in the pot, he was only allowed by the dealer to fold or call. He opted for the latter.
The rolled off on the turn and Nieto instantly announced all-in for a total of 154,900, more than Meriguet was willing to invest, and he eventually made the fold.
Margets confidently turned over 
for a flopped two pair, but Nieto just shook his head before revealing 
for the bigger two pair. The 
river was no good for Margets, and the Spanish pro quickly left the tournament area while Nieto was left with quite some stacking of chips to attend to.

Niveau 10
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Javier Garcirreynaldos Barral is known under his nickname Tsunamy, and the Casino de Marrakech regular just hit quite the river to secure a crucial double-up.
He got it in holding 
on a board of

of his opponent, Michael Berrio.
The 
river gave Barral both, and the five-high flush was enough for the 135,000 chips pot. Berrio was left with just 1,700 chips, which he lost the very next hand to Idir Haiche.

Soutchkov Shoves Six Stacks: Paid With Six Chips
Niveau 10
: 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
A new chip has been introduced in the SISMIX Main Event as the first orange 25,000 chips have started to surface. Though it makes for some less impressing looking stacks, it does speed up the pace of the game significantly as a recent all-in pot on table 22 highlighted.
Aurelien Soutchkov and Mickael Muselli had gotten it all in before the flop, Soutchkov holding 
and Muselli holding 
. The board ran out 
, and while it took the dealer a solid minute to count the voluminous stack of Soutchkov (good for 106,000), it took less than five seconds for Muselli to pay his dues with six chips total.
