Jaryd Jardien defended the big blind and a larger pot of nearly 15,000 was created to the Q♦10♠7♠6♠A♠ river. Jardien opted to lead for 17,500 and his opponent went into the tank before folding, mentioning "I believe you" in table chat.
The cards were already on their backs and SM could all but grin when the chips were pushed over to Darick Steenkamp in the next seat.
On a board of A♣A♥4♥7♣K♣, the A♠9♣ of Steenkamp had flopped trips and held against K♥5♥ for the nut flush draw.
Cassien Du Toit bet the Q♥10♦5♥9♥ turn for 4,000 and SM called. Both opted to check the 3♥ river and Du Toit tabled the K♣J♦ for the king-high straight. SM mucked the A♥Q♠ with a dry smile on the face.
Both tangled again soon after on a board of J♦4♠3♥7♥K♦ when SM's bet did not go through. His 7♠6♣ was third pair but Du Toit had that beat holding the 9♠9♣.

On the tail end of a J♦4♦8♥5♠A♥ board, Hennie Appel bet 3,500 and received the call. He turned over the A♦Q♦ for a missed nut flush that rivered top pair and it was good enough to win the pot.
