The field has slowly but surely climbed to 92 entries of which 60 players remain, and they have been sent on a scheduled 10-minute break. After the next two levels, all players will be on a 60-minute dinner break.
Three ways to the 8♣8♦2♥6♠ turn with some 21,500 in the middle, Jaryd Jardien bet 15,000 in the hijack. Eduarte Duarte raised to 32,000 in the cutoff and Jedd Kossew then pushed all-in from the button. Jardien folded and Duarte called.
Eduarte Duarte: A♥8♠ 
Jedd Kossew: K♥8♥
The river was the 2♦ and they chopped the pot to chip up at the expense of Jardien.
On a heads-up turn of K♠6♥3♠6♣, Rudolf Fourie checked out of the blinds and Leonard Dormehl bet 5,000. The check-shove by Fourie followed for 32,900 and Dormehl asked for a count, then called.
Rudolf Fourie: 8♥6♥
Leonard Dormehl: K♥Q♠
"Everybody but you knew what I have," Fourie joked and the river then brought the sucker punch with the K♣. Fourie re-entered and drew the very same seat.
Three ways to the 10♣9♣6♣J♥ turn, Marko Nortje bet out of the small blind for 3,000. Terry Brookes and Saurabh Gulati called. They checked the K♦ on the river and Nortje announced a jack. "See how I win this pot," he told table neighbour Cliton Taliwanth, who glanced back at the board and saw Nortje scoop the pot with the J♠7♠.
The live stream action in the tournament area continues as the final table of the ZAR 50,000 High Roller is trying to play down to a winner. Early casualties came in hot and fast, and there are only three players still in contention. These happen to be Joey Weissman, Troy McTeer and Mario Fata who have a small rail at their disposal.

Two players limped in including Mariette Language and Harold Brooks then simply pushed all-in out of the blinds, forcing out everyone.
One hand later, Sugen Singh opened to 1,700 and David Ng three-bet to 4,100. It folded back to Singh and he asked Ng if he would fold his hand if he called it exactly.
"I fold a nice hand," Singh said and exposed the A♣10♥. Singh then negotiated to expose one card after claiming Ng's hand to be ace-jack. He peeled the J♥ and grinned, added "the other is an ace". Sure enough, the A♥ was also flipped over as well.
Russel Wheatley raised to 3,000 and earned two callers behind him in Gavin Sardini and Matthew Whitelaw. Wheatley bet the 10♣6♦2♠ flop for 6,000 to get called only by Sardini, then bet the 10♥ turn for 15,000 and jammed the 8♦ river. Sardini called it down with the J♣J♥ and crashed out against the K♣K♥ of Wheatley.
Level: 6
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
An open raise to 1,600 was in the middle by Panayiotis Giannakopoulos, who then got out of the way when Renier Britz was all-in for 20,200 and an even shorter stack called.
The player at risk had Q♥J♦ while Britz was ahead with the A♥J♣. Neither player connected on the 7♣6♦3♠7♠K♠ and Nadav Mazor sighed "trips" while Britz raked in the pot.
