Winamax pro Adrian Mateos won the SISMIX Main Event in 2018 for $106,128. The following year the festival was held in Spain, where German player Tim Hartmann took down the Main Event for $112,875.
But as any veteran of the festival knows, SISMIX is as much about the parties as it is about the poker.
Today��s schedule includes a pool party with relaxed vibes from 2 p.m. and the Winamax Beer Pong Open starting at 8 p.m. Later on, from 11:30 p.m., DJ James and Bonny will be bringing the house party vibes over at Theatro. Those who bust the Main Event won��t be too disappointed. They might well get lucky elsewhere.
PokerNews will be covering the Main Event from start to finish, so stay tuned to see how the action unfolds.
