The chips keep on flying and the latest all-in and call came from table 11 right in front of the live stream feature table.
Harold Brooks flipped with the J♦J♠ to put Dylan Wilkerson at risk holding the A♦K♦.
Wilkerson took the lead on the K♣4♣4♠ flop and retained it on the 8♦ turn. However, the J♥ river brought another twist to the story and Brooks scored the knockout.

"How do they always have it?" Christopher Dean gasped on the outer tables when his open shove for 117,000 was looked up by Divan Le Roux in the cutoff and he walked right into a monster.
Christopher Dean: 8♦7♦
Divan Le Roux: A♠A♥
The 6♠3♥2♠ flop saw Dean ask for a five, which he then certainly needed after the 4♠ turn. "A five without spade, please," he demanded. However, the Q♣ river was a blank and Le Roux notched up another knockout with a premium hand.,
Soon after that, Keegan Naidoo was knocked out from the neighbouring table to bring the field down to 41 hopefuls.

Diane Walker raised the button with the 9♠7♠ to 24,000 and Gareth Fourie called with the K♦10♣ in the small blind. Imran Bhojani three-bet to 76,000 with the 7♦3♣ and Fourie was the only caller. Fourie check-called for 27,000 on the A♠A♦J♠ flop and the 8♦ followed on the turn.
Fourie check-called for another 27,000 and Bhojani then gave up to check behind the Q♦ river for Fourie to win the pot.

Matthew Whitelaw raised and then folded to a three-bet by Saurabh Gulati, who showed the 6♦6♣ before raking in the pot.
One table over, Rudolf Fourie ripped it in preflop and exclaimed "I am not bullying anyone" while exposing the A♥K♥.
Back over to the other table, Gulati battled with Jarryd Jardien. Gulati check-raised the A♦10♦10♥6♦ turn and announced 155,000 but put in too many chips. Jardien had invested 55,000 and folded.
"Good fold," Gulati said and flashed the K♦2♦ for the ace-high flush.

Huawei Sun defended out of the blinds to then get it in after the 10♦3♠2♠ flop and Devid Berlin called from an early position.
Huawei Sun: 7♠6♠
Devid Berlin: K♠Q♠
Sun's flush draw was dominated and the Q♣ turn left him drawing dead prior to the now meaningless 4♣ on the river.
