Niveau 11
: 1,200/2,400, 400 ante
After an hour and 15 minutes of dinner break play has resumed for the remaining fighters of the felt in this SISMIX Main Event Day 1b. Three players opted to either re-enter or make use of the late registration option during the interlude, and thus the final number of entries today reaches an astounding 369.
To tie last year's number of participants, an additional 315 entries will be needed during the final heat tomorrow. With today's staggering number that seems very doable,
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.

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.

VIP - Very Important Pot
Niveau 12
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Frederic Chau has been nursing one of the shorter stacks in the field for quite some time, but just now the French-Vietnamese Actor and Team Winamax VIP secured a crucial double.
Najib Bennis made it 6,000 to go under the gun, Timothee Scotti called two seats over before Chau moved in for a total of 57,500 chips. The blinds and Bennis eventually got out of the way, and Scotti quickly threw in a single blue chip signaling the call.
Frederic Chau: 
Timothee Scotti: 
The board didn't bring a single broadway card as it ran out 
, and Chau quietly exclaimed his delight before stacking his newly found wealth.
