Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Stephen Courtney
Stephen Courtney

Having just arrived at the table, Stephen Courtney squeezed to 2,100 preflop and was called by Sugen Singh as well as Hennie Appel. They checked the AAK flop and Appel bet the 4 turn for 1,300, only Courtney called.

After the 6 river, Appel bet 2,900 and Courtney raised to 10,000 in order to force an instant fold. Before raking in the pot, Courtney flashed the A.

Language Loses Loads Early On

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Mariette Language
Mariette Language

Three ways to the 7542 turn, Kyle van Blerk checked out of the small blind and Mariette Language bet 3,000 in an early position. Pravir Rama called on the button while van Blerk folded.

Both then checked the 6 on the river and Language tabled K7, which was beaten by the A7 of Rama which he took with a rather dry "well done".

Kyle van Blerk
Kyle van Blerk

Mariette Language limped in and then faced a raise to 1,500 and the squeeze to 3,700 by Kyle van Blerk. She moved all-in with a shorter stack and van Blerk snap-called.

Mariette Language: 66
Kyle van Blerk: AA

There was no miracle escape on the 742J5 runout and Language became the first casualty on Day 1a. Soon after, Darryll Shaff was also sent to the rail as 37 players out of 39 entries remain.

Taliwanth Gets no River Value

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Cliton Taliwanth
Cliton Taliwanth

With some 8,000 in the middle to the AJ982 river, Rajah Vempati had checked and Dhinesh Soopramanien from Mauritius was ready to bet as he grabbed into his stack. Cliton Taliwanth told him that he had not checked yet and then checked. Soopramanien changed his mind and checked behind to see Vempati table the KQ for the missed broadway and nut flush draw.

Taliwanth held Q10 for the effective nuts and Soopramanien mucked.
