Venesen Naidoo raised to 1,000 from under the gun and received three callers thereafter. Diane Walker then pushed all-in for 10,600 in the big blind and Naidoo called, the other players all folded.
Diane Walker: J♣J♠
Venesen Naidoo: K♥K♦
Walker asked for a jack on the flop but her bid never came through on a board of 6♠6♣5♣4♥3♦ to send her to the rail.

On the tail end of a 10♦10♠8♣6♦A♣ river, Giovanni Zanette had a large bet paid off by Karolis Domarkas. He showed the K♥10♥ for flopped trips tens and won the pot. "I guess you could have queen jack of diamonds," Domarkas joked after he lost three quarters of his stack in the process.

Three ways to the A♠7♠2♥ flop, Cliton Taliwanth checked in the small blind and Anjan Mulji bet 4,500 in the hijack. Huawei Sun called on the button for Taliwanth to check-raise to 14,500, earning a call from Mulji only.
On the 7♦ turn, Taliwanth check-called for 11,000 and then jammed the 10♦ river for 11,600 effective. Mulji called all-in for as much and Taliwanth sighed, as he exposed the A♣2♠ for counterfeited flopped two pair. Mulji had that crushed all the way with A♥7♥ to double with a full house.

Rudolf Fourie bet big on the K♠10♥5♥10♦ turn and Diane Walker called all-in with her short stack, showing the K♦J♦. Fourie shook his head before he slowly rolled over the K♥J♠ as they were guaranteed a chop already ahead of the 9♦ river.
Moments after this showdown, Jacobus de Nysschen took a seat next to Walker.

With some 5,500 in the middle to the 8♣6♣5♥ flop, Jehan Richards checked and Marko Nortje bet 2,600 from the cutoff. Richards called and checked again the J♠ turn before calling a second barrel worth 8,000.
Following the Q♠ river, Richards checked the third time and Nortje moved forward his stack of T-5,000 chips. Richards instantly called all-in and Nortje told him "you win" before showing his 9♥4♥ for a bluff gone wrong. Richards had flopped the straight with 9♣7♣ to double for 17,600.
