Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
On the tail end of a A♦K♣7♣3♦7♥ board, Dave Nundloll checked and then faced a big bet by Ahmed Karrim. He eventually called and was shown the 3♣3♥ for a turned set and rivered full house by Karrim.
Nundloll smashed his A♠Q♣ on the felt and stormed away from his chair.
"Did he check the flop?" other players at the table asked and Jean Souprayenmestry confirmed.

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: A♠5♥ 
Ronit Chamani: K♦J♦
Everybody saw the ace in the window first but the A♣Q♣10♦ flop had Poonhath on the ropes. The 2♦ turn ended his run as the meaningless 9♣ river completed the board.

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.

Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On a heads-up flop of K♠K♣6♦, Martin Diggle was all-in and at risk with the A♦10♥ and in dire shape, as Rohan Conradie had flopped the goods with the K♦8♠.
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 A♥K♥ into the A♣J♦ of Imran Bhojani. Both hit their kicker on the 7♦4♠3♥K♦J♣ board and Fourie banged his hand on the table in celebration.

Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
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: A♦10♠
Cliton Taliwanth: A♠K♣
The K♦Q♣8♣10♥5♠ 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.

In the second hand on the money bubble, SM raised from the hijack and called the shove by Rajeev Poonhath in the curtoff for 78,000.
Rajeev Poonhath: 9♦9♠
SM: K♣10♣
The Q♣6♥3♠8♠Q♠ board kept Poonhath in contention and the action continues hand-for-hand.

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 10♣9♣8♥ 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: K♣J♣
Gilbert Tin Fook: J♠10♥
Colin Horgan: 7♦6♥
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.

: 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 4♣3♦3♣ flop, Vilela was all-in short with 6♠6♥ against the 9♥9♣ of Appel. The J♦ turn and 5♥ river sent Vilela to the rail and the field was down to the last 64 players.
