Karrim Claims Another Victim

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

On the tail end of a AK737 board, Dave Nundloll checked and then faced a big bet by Ahmed Karrim. He eventually called and was shown the 33 for a turned set and rivered full house by Karrim.

Nundloll smashed his AQ on the felt and stormed away from his chair.

"Did he check the flop?" other players at the table asked and Jean Souprayenmestry confirmed.

Poonhath Eliminated by Chamani

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

Rajeev Poonhath jammed for around 125,000 in the cutoff and Ronit Chamani three-bet jammed the button to isolate.

Rajeev Poonhath: A5 All in
Ronit Chamani: KJ

Everybody saw the ace in the window first but the AQ10 flop had Poonhath on the ropes. The 2 turn ended his run as the meaningless 9 river completed the board.

Stephen Courtney
Stephen Courtney

Only 60 players finished the level as there were three seat open right after the money bubble had burst. Howard Lipman had busted from the feature table while Stephen Courtney was knocked out by Giovanni Zanette when ace-six trailed versus ace-ten all the way.

Fourie Doubles; Diggle Doesn't

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Martin Diggle
Martin Diggle

On a heads-up flop of KK6, Martin Diggle was all-in and at risk with the A10 and in dire shape, as Rohan Conradie had flopped the goods with the K8.

The A turn gave some possible outs to Diggle but the 5 river bricked for Diggle to bust.

Rudolf Fourie was more fortunate when he three-bet jammed the AK into the AJ of Imran Bhojani. Both hit their kicker on the 743KJ board and Fourie banged his hand on the table in celebration.

Sheldon Grove
Sheldon Grove

Cliton Taliwanth had raised from under the gun and then quickly called the shove by Sheldon Grove out of the big blind for what appeared to be around 75,000. They had to wait for all other tables to finish before proceeding with the following showdown.

Sheldon Grove: A10 All in
Cliton Taliwanth: AK

The KQ8105 board kept Taliwanth ahead all the way and he burst the bubble. Grove received an entry to an SPT Main Event in 2025 of his choice.

Rajeev Poonhath: 99 All in
SM: K10

The Q638Q board kept Poonhath in contention and the action continues hand-for-hand.

Barnard Wins Big on the Bubble

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Richard Barnard
Richard Barnard

The hand-for-hand on the bubble was supposed to take place but there was a big hand unfolding on table ten, after a rather simple limped pot to the 1098 flop. That's when it all came to an explosion with Gilbert Tin Fook as initial limper all-in, as was Richard Barnard in the small blind.

Both were covered by Colin Horgan, who had flopped the bottom end of the straight!

Richard Barnard: KJ All in
Gilbert Tin Fook: J10 All in
Colin Horgan: 76

The J turn gave Tin Fook hope with two pair and the Q river improved Barnard to a king-high straight for the triple up. For the side pot, the board played and Tin Fook escaped from elimination.

We Are on the Money Bubble!

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Clive Berman had started the day as the chip leader and quickly lost a big portion of his stack. He did not make the money as he busted with king-queen versus ace-queen. Teren Ramnundlall also bowed out and Jamie Vilela exited against Hennie Appel.

On the 433 flop, Vilela was all-in short with 66 against the 99 of Appel. The J turn and 5 river sent Vilela to the rail and the field was down to the last 64 players.
