Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Over on the outer table, Colin Horgan open-jammed from the button into both shorter stacks in the blinds. Wessel Conradie was among them and called all-in for around 13 blinds, Divan Le Roux in the big blind folded.

Wessel Conradie: A♦10♦ All in
Colin Horgan: A♥4♦

In the previous showdown between them, Horgan had asked for a chop but didn't do so this time.

Both went silently to the A♠4♣3♦ flop on which Horgan made aces and fours, Conradie groaned mildly. Nothing much changed with the 2♠ turn but a split pot was now possible. However, the 7♥ river was a brick and Conradie bowed out to set up the nine-handed final table.

Conradie receives URA 103,005 for his efforts and there will now be a break prior to the live-streamed conclusion.
