Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Divan Le Roux raised to 60,000 in the hijack and Hennie Appel called in the next seat. Rudalf Frick then pushed all-in for 335,000 on the button and Le Roux asked for a count, folded. Appel snap-called and Frick sighed when he spotted the rockets on the other side of the table.

Rudalf Frick: A♥Q♥ All in
Hennie Appel: A♦A♣

The 7♦5♥4♦Q♦K♠ board changed nothing whatsoever and Frick had to settle for 24th place, earning ZAR 48,580 for his efforts.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

The shortest stack on the final three tables by now, Jaryd Jardien, moved all-in for 180,000, fellow short stack Alvin Pillay who had been moved to the live stream table also got his chips into the middle as well.

Jaryd Jardien: Q♦J♠ All in
Alvin Pillay: A♥J♦

The 8♦6♦5♠10♥4♣ runout was not much of a sweat and Jardien had to settle for ZAR 41,785, ensuring a small pay jump for the other 24 remaining contenders.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 20 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Over on the outer tables, Colin Horgan defended the big blind against Russel Wheatley and check-called the A♣3♣2♥ flop for 50,000.

After the 4♠ turn, Horgan check-raised to 125,000 and Wheatley pushed all-in for a large stack.

"How much is it?" Horgan said and vaulted out of his seat. The shove was for 640,000 and Horgan used two time banks during which he mentioned "I have a set". He eventually called to create a massive pot.

Russel Wheatley: A♠10♦ All in
Colin Horgan: 2♠2♣

The 7♠ river didn't bring the unlikely chop and Wheatley crashed out in 28th place.

Ahmed Karrim opened the action with a raise to 30,000 and it folded to SM in the big blind, who pushed all-in for 370,000. Having previously doubled off Karrim, he was called and once more pipped by the kicker.

SM: A♦Q♠ All in
Ahmed Karrim: A♥K♠

There was no shenanigans this time on the 9♣8♥5♠6♥10♦ runout and Karrim vaulted back to the stack he had when they moved to the live stream table.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

After an elimination on the live stream table, the next all-in and call unfolded on the outer tables.

Adrian Andritz was all-in preflop with 5♦5♥ and up against the J♥J♣ of Giovanni Zanette on the button.

There was no help on the A♠Q♦7♥2♠7♣ runout and one of the most dangerous players in the fields busted, while an equally big threat for everyone else chipped up.

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

MAJ had been eliminated from the feature table in 38th place just before the break and Jedd Kossew was the next to fall on the outer tables when play resumed.

He jammed the A♦2♦ into the 5♥5♣ of Rudalf Frick in the next seat blind on blind.

The 8♥4♠2♣Q♥J♣ board provided no help and Kossew bowed out next.

Matthew Mulhall then only had six blinds behind in the big blind and called all-in to a big button raise by Jean Souprayenmestry.

Matthew Mulhall: Kx3x All in
Jean Souprayenmestry: J♥J♠

The J♦6♥6♠5♥A♦ board gave jacks a full house and Mulhall the walk to the payout desk.

Huawei Sun: 7♠6♠ All in
Devid Berlin: K♠Q♠
