"I Call Time on Myself"

: 200/400, 50 ante
French-Vietnamese Actor and Winamax VIP Frederic Chau has just been involved in quite the hand. On a 
board he and his Spanish opponent Fernandez Francisco had only poured around 2,500 chips each into the pot, but on the river, Chau had bet out 5,250 only to face a shove of 36,000 from Francisco. That got the conversation going.
"You are from Madrid, right? I have an ear for accents, and I recognize yours," Chau said. Fernandez nodded.
"It's only the 
that beats me," Chau continued.
"Do you have the 
? Don't slowroll me, man," Francisco responded.
"I'm sorry guys; I'm gonna need some time to think," Chau responded before going into the tank.
He didn't stay long, as he called time on himself after a few minutes, and even though Francisco insisted on Chau taking his time, a floor manager came over to start the countdown. With a few seconds left Chau finally uttered a fold before sinking back into his chair, and Francisco quickly flashed the 
before mucking the other.
"Queen-seven," the Spaniard said while stacking his new chips with a sly smile.

Heads Up for the Gold
Niveau 3
: 200/400, 50 ante
While the Main Event is still in its infancy, the conclusion of the High Roller is taking place right now on an adjacent table. It was scheduled to end yesterday, but due to the strong turnout for the event, the organizers decided to let the final three players rest up before determining the final distribution of the remaining prize pool.
The Winamax Pro Pierre Calamusa was just eliminated in 3rd place, good for 282,000 MAD (€25,900), leaving teammate Bruno Lopes and Matthieu Lamagnere to fight it out for the title.
The winner of the High Roller will record a very solid payday of 580,000 MAD (almost €53,300).
The Attendance Is Through the Roof
Niveau 3
: 200/400, 50 ante
Yesterday's tally of 217 players was the biggest in years for a SISMIX day 1a, and just two levels into this second heat, that number has been surpassed. So far 239 players have visited the cashier at Casino de Marrakech to free themselves of 6,000 Morrocan Dhiram, and with the option of late registration and re-entry open for another eight levels, today's final number should be close to 300 entries.
Among the latest newcomers is Spanish Pro Leo Margets, while Winamax Pro Michel Abecassis have opted for a re-entry, and are now right back in the action with a fresh starting stack of 50,000.

Michel Abecassis Hits the Rail
Niveau 2
: 150/300, 25 ante
Not 20 minutes ago not a single player had been eliminated yet. Now three players have been sent packing, including one of the biggest profiles in the field.
Winamax Pro Michel Abecassis is a former EPT and Partouche Poker Tour finalist and has been on the circuit for more than two decades. But experience doesn't always translate to a deep run in a poker tournament, and Abecassis will have to make use of a re-entry, if he wants to advance to Day 2 on Saturday.
The other two players eliminated is Nicolas Trossian (winner of the First Out, First Paid-bounty and Eddy Gamboa.

One Level Down: No Players Busted
Niveau 2
: 150/300, 25 ante
192 players have so far registered for this day 1b, and though more than a level has passed, someone has yet to leave the tournament. There is a strong contender in Nicolas Torossian, however, as the Frenchman is down to his last 7,000 chips after running a big bluff on tablemate Jean Paul Beaumet. After quite some deliberation Beaumet ended up calling 12,000 on the river with 
on a 
board, and Torossian instantly mucked his hand.
