Tin Fook Crushed by Horgan's Quads

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Gilbert Tin Fook raised to 20,000 with the K♣Q♦ from under the gun and Gareth Fourie called with the 7♠7♣ in middle position. Colin Horgan three-bet to 80,000 on the button with A♠A♦ and the blinds folded. Tin Fook ripped it in for 268,000 to force out Fourie, while Horgan obviously snapped it off.

The A♣K♥4♦A♥4♣ runout gave Horgan quads and Tin Fook the trip to the payout desk.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Gavin Sardini jammed the 5♥3♥ and Wessel Conradie then moved all-in over the top to isolate,

"I gonna need a lot of help," Sardini said and another player jokingly said he would hit a straight flush.

Conradie's K♠K♥ were miles ahead but fell behind until the 9♣8♣3♣5♣ turn. The river was the K♦ and Sardini was gone.

The next casualty soon after was Jaron Kavnat as the post bubble. He had the A♣4♠ for a short stack and was called by Joey Weissman with the J♦J♠. Kavnat found hope for a comeback only to get rivered on the A♠K♣10♦2♥J♥ board.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

SM jammed up his stack after forcing a fold from Christopher Dean. It was then Dean who got it in against Divan Le Roux with A♥Q♦ versus 10♦10♠ and Le Roux stayed ahead on the K♠8♥6♠J♥8♦ runout to double for 141,000.

Soon after that, Dean pulled out all the tricks and put on the back pack when he was at risk versus Sugen Singh preflop.

Christopher Dean: A♥K♥ All in
Sugen Singh: K♣J♦

The 5♣4♣4♥10♠4♠ board was no threat for Dean and he sat back down. Singh was left short and busted soon after.

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Over on the live stream feature table, Vygandas Simuntis was all-in for 82,000 from an early position and Gilbert Tin Fook did so from the button for just shy of ten blinds. Both were called by Imran Bhojani from under the gun.

Vygandas Simuntis: J♦J♣ All in
Gilbert Tin Fook: K♣10♠ All in
Imran Bhojani: A♠8♠

The K♠10♣5♦Q♣6♥ board dented the healthy stack of Bhojani while Simuntis departed.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A short-stacked BC Van Rooyen was all-in and Max Deveson got the chips in thereafter only for the nearly even-stacked Jean Souprayenmestry to look them up.

BC Van Rooyen: A♣4♥ All in
Max Deveson: A♥Q♠ All in
Jean Souprayenmestry: Q♦Q♥

The 9♠6♠4♦8♣8♦ board brought no miracle escape for Van Rooyen and Deveson's 20 blinds were also narrowly covered by Souprayenmestry.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Bradley Moore raised to 27,000 and Keegan Naidoo called on the button. Johnny Bland then three-bet jammed from the small blind and Moore called all-in, Naidoo folded.

Bradley Moore: Q♠Q♣ All in
Johnny Bland: A♦A♣

The J♠10♥2♠6♠7♥ board was not without a sweat but Bland held onto his lead.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

"You just had king-queen, I didn't think you'd have it again. What am I supposed to do with two pair?" BN Lubbe said after his stack was shipped over to Hennie Appel. The 10♣9♥ of Lubbe had flopped two pair but the J♠ river gave Appel the king-high straight.

MAJ then doubled through Gavin Sardini when A♠A♣ held versus K♥Q♣ on a board of 9♥5♠4♠4♥7♦.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Brandon Bruintjies limp-called a raise by Ahmed Karrim in the small blind and they then somehow got it in after the Q♦6♠6♣ flop. Karrim bet small, Bruintjies raised to 50,000 and Karrim reraised to 90,000. The shove by Bruintjies for almost 400,000 followed and Karrim instantly called.

Brandon Bruintjies: 8♥8♣ All in
Ahmed Karrim: 6♥5♥

The 5♦ turn and A♣ river brought no miracle escape.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With big stacks willing to put the chips in, the fireworks kicked off on a A♣10♥5♣ flop when Russel Wheatley was all-in for 272,000 and Diane Walker called with the covering stack.

Russel Wheatley: A♥10♠ All in
Diane Walker: A♦Q♦

The J♣ turn opened outs with the gutshot but the 4♦ river was a blank.
