Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
So far, a field of 116 entries has emerged and not many new faces emerged prior to or after the dinner break. Max Deveson, Divan Le Roux and Maxwell Young all jumped in with the latter two having busted the High Roller earlier today. Some assorted casualties can also be found below.

Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Out of a field of 116 entries, only 65 players remain and they have been sent on a scheduled 60-minute dinner break until approximately 7.20 p.m. local time.
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Toran Tate flopped a set of fours and turned a full house with 4♥4♠ on the board of A♣10♣4♦A♠K♥. That's usually a pretty strong hand. However, he busted as Jedd Kossew had him crushed all the way with the 10♥10♠ on the button to score another knockout.
Tate can return at a bargain as he was one of the winners of the Flipout SNG during the level, but that may not necessarily be much of a consolation right now.

Table 16 was the next to break, but that had to wait after an enormous four-way all-in had brought no casualty and the main plus side pots needed to be split.
So what exactly had happened? Jon Persent raised to 3,500 and received three callers on the button as well as the blinds.
The flop came Q♣7♥5♥ and it checked to Persent, who bet 3,500. Gareth Fourie called on the button and Jaco Mouton jammed the small blind for 17,300. Keenan Pienaar in the big blind called, as did Persent and Fourie.
On the 2♣ turn, Pienaar pushed all-in and Persent reluctantly called, Fourie also put in his last 34,500 as well.
Jaco Mouton: 6♠4♠ 
Gareth Fourie: 6♥4♦
Keenan Pienaar: 7♦5♦
Jon Persent: A♠Q♦
Persent needed an ace, queen or deuce to knock out three players. However, the twist then came with the 8♥ river as Mouton and Fourie improved to a straight. Mouton chopped the main pot with Fourie, Fourie won the larger side pot and Pienaar doubled the rest off Persent as no player busted!

: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
The shorter stack of Martin Smit went into the middle with the A♥8♣ and he was pipped by Jaron Kavnat with the A♠10♦.
On a board of Q♠9♥9♦4♣5♠, the kicker played and Smit headed out of the tournament area.
The table features Wesley Blom again, who had won a flipout SNG with a rivered set of kings. As fate would have it, he beat Maureen Bloechlinger to the ticket who had been in the lead prior with two pair. Yesterday, Blom had knocked out Bloechlinger on the final day of The Hendon Mob Challenge.

Stefan Bittger checked the 8♥3♥3♣3♠ turn and then called a bet worth 20,000 into a pot of 25,000 by Colin Horgan. Bittger checked the Q♣ river as well and Horgan jammed for 71,900.
After using two time banks, Bittger asked for an exact count but ended up folding.
"Did you have a boat?" Bittger asked and Horgan replied if he wanted to see the cards. "No, if I don't pay I don't want to see them," the German replied.
"He didn't have quads," Bradley Sweetman in the nine seat chimed in.

Over on table 11, two players have been eliminated and the last one of them was Pieter "Sexy Piet" Terblanche in his colourful hoodie.
He got it in with 8♦8♣ against the A♠A♥ of Alan Jung and failed to get there on the J♦9♣4♥3♥2♦ board.
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
In five-way action to the 7♥5♥5♣ flop, it checked to Sheldon Grove and he bet 2,000. Gareth Duncan, Ben and Eban Lottering called while Patrice Ah-Nien folded. The 3♣ turn was checked to Grove, who bet 2,000 again and everyone behind called.
They checked the 3♥ river and Grove showed ace-deuce. Ben revealed his 10♥9♥ for a flush to win the pot and Duncan said "I thought my flush was good" before briefly exposing 8♥6♥.
One hand later, Eban Lottering called two streets on a jack-ten high board against Okkie Fourie. They checked the river and Lottering showed K♣J♦ for top pair, beaten by the A♥A♠ of Fourie.
