Third Break of the Day

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Six levels have been completed and the field has reached 59 entries, of which 36 players remain. They have been sent on another 15-minute break with the longer dinner break up next. The ZAR50,000 High Roller is now also on a break as well with the end of the late registration nearing once the cards go back in the air.

Mariette Language had chipped up before the break and then bet the river of a 87247 river for 4,000. Dimitri Hadjipaschali reluctantly called and was shown the 42 by Language, which he had beat with the 66.

One table over, Teren Ramnundlall had been eliminated while Derrick Steenkamp bounced back.

Last but not least, Rajeev Poonhath bet the 1053 flop for 1,200, earning calls from Harold Brooks and Wesley Blom. On the K turn, Blom checked and Poonhath made it 2,500 to go. Brooks raised to 7,500 and Blom folded, Poonhath called. The latter bet the 6 river for 8,000 and Brooks folded his 97 face-up.

Keshav Wins Two in a Row

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Just before the blinds went up, Sheldon Grove had a raise to 3,000 out in front and then folded when Menesh Keshav pushed all-in for slightly more than the starting stack, Okkie Fourie also folded as well.

One hand later, Grove limped and so did another three players. Shawn Smith in the small blind made it 2,500 to go and earned no fewer than four callers. Five ways to the K88 flop, everyone checked and it was Grove who bet the 4 turn for 3,500. Keshav raised to 11,000 and forced out all opponents.
