Lewis Enjoying Marrakech; High Roller Down to Two Tables
The Winamax SISMIX High Roller is down to two tables, and there is a veritable selection of poker talent still involved and looking to take down the title and ~€57,000 for first place.
Here is the table draw for the final two tables:
| Seat | Table 1 | Table 2 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Davidi Kitai | Erikas Laugzemys |
| 2 | Pedro Huelamo | Romain Lewis |
| 3 | Jose Plaza | Christophe Beyer |
| 4 | Sonny Franco | Guillaume Deyez |
| 5 | Arthur Conan | Ringo Stimac |
| 6 | Nicolaus Paszkiewicz | Ivan Deyra |
We caught up with Romain Lewis as he was taking a break after the two table redraw.
"The High Roller was going sweet," he said, "Until 18 left and I had 30 big blinds. Now there's 12 left."
Lewis is a Winamax Team Pro and has been coming to the Winamax SISMIX for the last three years, cashing in 2016 & 2017. He says that the tournament mixes poker with holiday really well.
"I know that they do a lot for online players; they do anything to make players happy to come. I know people who play online who do two live tournaments a year - the Winamax Poker Open in Dublin, and the Winamax SISMIX in Marrakech.
"They know that they will be well received and the tournaments are six-handed. Well, they're actually four or five-handed most of the time. You don't get six-handed tournaments that much anywhere."
The tournament also has special custom-made six-handed tables, and Lewis says they're very comfortable to play at!
"There's action all the time," he said. "That's why a lot of the players come to play here at these events. You're always in a hand and always active."
"And when you bust you have some more side events, but there's also beautiful Marrakech with pool parties and the TheatrO too. The sun is out; a lot of people will go and grind SCOOP after this, but it's also nice to come and relax and chill here.
