A hefty pot of more than 38,000 was created on a board of K♥Q♣6♠8♥J♣ when Jedd Kossew bet the river for another 12,000. Diane Walker reluctantly called and Kossew declared ace-king, then showed his A♣K♣ for top pair and top kicker. Walker exposed her A♥Q♠ before sending them to the muck.
Jacobus de Nysschen bet the river of a A♣4♦2♦5♦Q♠ board and received a call to show A♦3x for the turned wheel with the nut flush and steel wheel blocker. That won a healthy pot as the local regular boosted his stack in the third level of the day.

The clock shows a total of 77 entries with 75 players remaining and the latest trio to get a fresh starting stack includes the likes of Clive Kikia, Werner Smit and Colin Horgan. All three of them played in The Hendon Mob Challenge Cape Town Million and Kikia reached the live-streamed final table yesterday.
Heads-up to the 8♠7♦5♦ flop, Christoper Dean checked and the button bet 2,500 for Dean to call. They checked the 9♠ turn and Dean then bombed the Q♦ river for 11,500.
"Why so much?" his opponent asked and then later mentioned "remember, in the first hand we played I said to trust my instinct. I want to call," he declared but eventually opted to fold the A♦7♣ face-up. Dean didn't show any of his cards and instead collected the pot.

Blinds: 200/400

On the tail end of a J♦7♣4♥2♣6♦ board, Sugen Singh and Toran Tate both invested 5,100 chips. Singh showed J♥10♥ but had a kicker problem, as Tate earned the pot with AxJ♠.
That sent Singh's stack to around half of what he started with while several players on this particular table have already chipped up significantly.
Three ways to the Q♣10♣7♦ flop, Mariette Language was the only one to check-call a bet of 1,500 while in the blinds. The duo checked the 7♥ on the turn and Language then bet the Q♥ river for 2,000 when the board paired for a second time. She received no call and claimed the pot without showdown.
