Nic Ioannoy open-jammed the hijack for 200,000 and was called by Divan Le Roux in the small blind.
Le Roux rolled over the A♥A♥ and Ioannoy said "That's all? I have a hand that can beat that. Watch me hit a straight," Ioannoy said before he exposed his 8♥5♦.
The 9♥7♥5♣ flop gave gim a pair and gutshot, and his prediction came true with the 6♦ turn as well as the 10♠ river runout.

Since the dinner break, Edgar Antezana had raised two times for three big blinds and showed the goods when everybody folded, including pocket queens. He now opened to 75,000 again and Wessel Conradie defended the big blind to then check the A♠Q♥7♥ flop.
No sooner than Antezana had bet, the cards of Conradie already hit the muck.

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♥
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.

Nic Ioannoy three-bet jammed into a raise by Ahmed Karrim and forced a snap-fold. He did so soon after again and received no call to rake in the chips with a smirk on the face. "I looked at both this time," he said.
