Several players jumped back into the field and that saw a new table open, to which only Kinesh Pather and Marlene Lingefelder were moved to. Okkie Fourie then appeared as well while Diane Walker was among the new additions.
Three ways to the 9♥5♠5♦ flop, Pather bet 7,500 and forced two folds to win the pot. He is the far biggest stack on the table with Walker in second place.
Rudolf Fourie was all-in for 19,800 on the button and Hennie Appel as well as Jamie Vilela called, the latter was in the hijack. On the Q♥3♦3♠ flop, Appel led for 6,000 and Vilela folded.
Rudolf Fourie: A♥10♥ [alin]
Hennie Appel: Q♠10♣
Appel had outflopped Fourie and stayed ahead throughout the K♦ turn as well as 7♥ river.
Vilela had around 55,000 after this hand but would soon become the next casualty, sending his chips over to Sugen Singh.
On a four-way flop of A♦7♣5♥, Giovanni Zanette check-raised to 12,500 and forced out Jedd Kossew as well as Fabio Cornelli. The sticky Joachim Aucamp called and checked the 4♦ turn. Zanette now bet 19,000 and Aucamp folded.
One of the late entrants after the dinner break got it in with the A♠5♠ and Giovanni Zanette looked them up with the A♥10♥.
The kicker played on the A♦9♣6♠10♦Q♥ runour as Zanette made aces and tens to notch up the elimination.
With four tables remaining in the Day 1b field, one of them was pulled to the feature stream setup and it remains unsure how long they will be streaming for tonight.
Jedd Kossew continues to lead the way with a massive stack and on his table, Kinesh Pather has chipped up and added more chips when he won a four-way pot that was checked on the 9♦5♠3♥K♣10♠ river. Huawei Sun revealed the 8♣8♠ for a pair of eights but Pather won the pot with the Q♠9♠ for a pair of nines.

Francis Vanderlinden was all-in with a short stack out of the big blind and showed the A♥4♥. He was trailing the A♣Q♠ of Janno Cazwmier but improved on the 7♥7♦4♦ flop. The Q♥ turn changed things again before the 6♥ river came to the rescue for Vanderlinden.
