Cohen Bleeds Off Chips

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Justin Cohen
Justin Cohen

Just before the blinds went up, Justin Cohen limped in and Gareth Fourie did so from the cutoff. Jaron Kavnat on the button raised to 12,000 and earned two calls. The Q44 flop was checked to Fourie and he bet 5,000, only Cohen called with a shorter stack behind.

That led them to the 8 turn on which Cohen check-called for another 5,000.

On the 3 river, Cohen checked and Fourie now bet 10,000. The curiosity caught Cohen, as he sighed and almost silently let out an "fuck ... I am bleeding off my chips". He asked Fourie if he had a four or queen, to which the big stack replied "honestly ... no, I swear".

Cohen called to get shown 88 for a turned full house, exposed his 66 and plummeted to only a handful of big blinds.

Young Eliminated by Andritz

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ben Young jammed a short stack with the Q10 and was called by Adrian Andritz in the small blind who had the A6, Jacobus de Nysschen let go from the big blind.

The K22J7 board missed both players and the ace was good enough to knock out Young.

Two to the Finish on Day 1a

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jaron Kavnat raised to 11,000 and Wessel Conradie called in the small blind. Justin Cohen pushed all-in for 42,000 from the big blind and Kavnat called, Conradie folded.

Justin Cohen: J9 All in
Jaron Kavnat: A10

"I am in big trouble," Cohen had declared Cohen before the cards were turned over.

Cohen was very much live but failed to connect on the J64210 board to bow out in 23rd place.

Berlin Eliminated by Kavnat

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Devid Berlin
Devid Berlin

Devid Berlin lost a portion of his shorter stack with ace-queen suited against Gareth Fourie, who rivered the bottom end of the straight and almost didn't notice it.

Berlin was then all-in for a severe short stack of 34,000 with 109 against the 99 of Jaron Kavnat.

The board came AJ623 and Berlin bowed out two spots away from reaching Day 2.

Leblanc Elimination Concludes Day 1a

Level 14 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Simon Solomon
Simon Solomon

Remy Leblanc open-jammed for 55,000 from under the gun and Ahmed Karrim called in the cutoff. Simon Solomon then put his last 56,000 in from the big blind and Karrim added the single chip to put two players at risk.

Remy Leblanc: 77 All in
Simon Solomon: AA All in
Ahmed Karrim: AJ

The Q105 flop gave Karrim a gutshot and the 9 turn added further outs to potentially knock out two players. He hit a king on the river, but it was the K to give Solomon a flush for the triple up. Leblanc was eliminated and that reduced the field to the last 20 players who will now bag and tag the chips for the night.
