Walker Out Once More

Christian Zetzsche

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The chips were already pushed over to Nic Ioannoy, who had just come back after taking a break for more than two orbits. He put the chips to use and his 6♥3♦ made a pair on the K♠9♣6♦A♦4♣ board to beat the 5♦3♣ of Diane Walker, who was knocked out for the second time on Day 1b.

Ioannoy sits above the average but only has one third of the stack of current chip leader Panayiotis Giannakopoulos one table over.

Imran Bhojani raised to 2,000 and then folded when Hennie Appel jammed a short stack of 11,300 from the next seat.

One hand later, Bhojani's limp was followed by another three limpers. Chandra Deib jammed in the big blind and everyone folded. Sugen Singh was among them, flashing the A♠. Deib exposed her 9♠9♥ and Singh replied "I made a big fold, ace-jack".

Three ways to the Q♣5♥3♥10♠ turn, Jehan Richards had checked and Okkie Fourie then moved all-in for 14,100 into a pot of two times as much. It folded back to Richards and he reluctantly folded.

The table also includes Marlene Lingefelder and Anand Kumar, the latter of which won the first ZAR1,500 flip to get back in for a fraction of the buy-in.

Fourie-Ous Beat Favours Wiese

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Nic Ioannoy raised to 1,600 and Rudolf Fourie then jammed for 36,100 one seat over in the hijack. Henk Wiese opted to call on the button while Ioannoy folded and exposed the K♣5♣.

Fourie had previously jammed for around 100 big blinds two levels ago and flashed pocket eights, while Ioannoy had folded K♦Q♥.

This time, it was no flip as Fourie was well ahead with Q♣Q♦ against the A♥10♣ of Wiese.

On the K♥Q♥6♣ flop, Fourie improved to a set and the 8♦ turn changed nothing whatsoever. Wiese only had four outs and indeed spiked the J♣ on the river to leave Fourie fuming, as he banged the fist on the table in disgust before storming off.
