Horgan Bad Beats Le Roux for a Double

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Colin Horgan got it in preflop with the K♥6♣ and was up against the red-hot running Divan Le Roux, who flipped over the A♦K♣.

The 7♥6♠4♣7♣9♠ board saved the Irish man, who has been chatting up a storm with the very jovial local players throughout the entire series so far.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

BC Van Rooyen had raised and a short-stacked Devid Berlin then jammed for 16,500. Jedd Kossew clicked it up a notch and then also called the all-in of Smit.

Devid Berlin: 9♦9♥ All in
BC van Rooyen: K♠K♣ All in
Jedd Kossew: A♠J♦

The best hand preflop remained ahead all the way on the 8♣7♦3♣8♥3♠ board as van Rooyen more than doubled, while Berlin exited.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A total of 128 entries have emerged thus far on Day 1a of which fewer than 50 players remain. They are on a scheduled 15-minute break and once the cards go back in the air, the late registration for the first of four flights will close. So far, some 20 players would make up the top 15% of the field.

Level: 11

Blinds: 1,500/2,500

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

On the tail end of the J♥6♠3♥10♦Q♠ river, Bradley Sweetman bet 7,500 from the small blind. Jacobus de Nysschen reluctantly called and Sweetman announced king-high. De Nysschen revealed the Q♣9♦ and that won the pot.

"He wants to keep me in the tournament, thanks for the donation," de Nysschen told the table with a smirk on the face.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

On the tail end of a A♦9♠5♦5♣7♣ board, Colin Horgan bet 30,000. Divan Le Roux raised it up to 80,000 and Horgan was sent into the blender. The Irishman eventually called and was shown the A♥5♠ for fives full of aces, to which he sighed and mucked the 5♥ without disclosing the other card.

Divan Le Roux	290,000 100,000	100,000

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Two players had bought in during the break to boost the field to 130 entries and that makes it a maximum of 20 to go through for the top 15 percent. Nellie Park won't be among the survivors on Day 1a as she bowed out soon after her max late registration.
