Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
![David Ng](https://s.pnimg.net/0MYkmKG8b36ftBH7XLK778i0C0AOenX_cfvp7q9Gtw4/pr:reporting-leading-desktop/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbmlt/Zy5uZXQvbHJlcC8y/MTQyLzYzL3hiZTg0/N2YxMzMxLmpwZw.webp)
SM was all-in with the A♦Q♠ and ahead against Okkie Fourie with the K♥J♠. The K♠7♦6♣ flop favoured Fourie and so did the 8♥ turn as well as the K♦ river.
That brought the field down to the last 15 and the next short stack was all-in soon after in David Ng. Fourie and Darryl Shaff called to check down a queen-high board. Fourie flashed his 10♣9♣ for the flopped straight on Q♠J♣8♠ and Ng was gone with the A♠6♦, Shaff mucked A♥6♥.
"Good flop," Fourie grinned as he leaped close to the average.
As confirmed by tournament staff a few minutes ago, Day 1b is scheduled to finish with 12 players remaining or upon completion of level 15 - whichever of the two comes first.
