Pather Keeps Adding Chips

Level 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

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.
