Koor Doubles Through Rahme

At the aforementioned feature table, a hand that will look great on South African television is shaping up. Sandy Koor is all in with Raymond Rahme, with Rahme having {A-Spades}{J-Spades} against Koor's Q-Q. The flop comes 6-2-10 with two spades, but the turn and river are K-5 with no more spades. Koor doubles up.

Eighty-Eight

There are 88 players remaining. Play stops in 90 minutes, and everyone who's still alive will come back to play down to a final table of nine.

Seacrest is Everywhere

Colin Moss, the presenter of "Idols," the South African version of "American Idol," is Ryan Seacrest's counterpart in this country. He's at the feature table this evening in seat 3, and is the biggest local celebrity here. In seat 2 is Raymond Rahme. In seat 4 is Sandy Koor, the tournament director for poker site All Africa Poker. The luck of the draw produced a good table for TV.

Level: 9

Blinds: 600/1,200
