Louis Linard Doubles Against Lithuania's Arunas Sapitavicius
While the vast majority of players in the WInamax SISMIX Main Event came to compete from France, there is also an unusually high number of players from Lithuania, a country with less than 3 million people, in the mix. One such player, Arunas Sapitavicius isn't as fairing as well today as some of the others.
In a recent hand, the action folded to Sapitavicius who completed the blinds. Louis Linard from the big blind raised the action to 6,000 chips before the Lithuanian limp-reraised to 19,000. Linard went all in for 51,500 which Sapitavicius called.
Sapitivicius turned over 
and was well behind Linard's 
and unable to catch-up when the 
appeared on the board. Sapitavicius is now holds one of the lower stacks in play, while Linard's stack surpasses six-digits to around 109,000.
