Gothey Wins Multiway Pot

Christian Zetzsche

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

In a four-way pot to the K♣J♣2♣ flop, Anjan Mulji had bet and earned three callers in Muddassir Ameer, Muzami Gothey, as well as Adriaan Bekker. They checked the 9♠ turn and the 8♥ came on the river. Mulji bet for 7,200 and Gothey was the only caller for the former to shake his head, exposing the A♣10♦ for a busted gutshot and nut flush draw.

Gothey had that beat with K♦Q♦ and nearly reached six figures again.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

With more than 42,000 in the middle to the Q♥6♠4♥9♣6♣ river, Jubal Chetty moved all-in with a short stack.

"Not much," he said when Alan Jung asked for a count. The shove was for only 7,000 and Jung reluctantly folded the A♥K♦ face-up.

"You are not gonna like what you see," Chetty said as he flashed the J♥8♦ for a successful bluff.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

There are flipout tables happening where ten seats with a buy-in of ZAR1,500 award one Main Event entry. Several players in the field are purchasing the seats and among them was also Wesley Blom. It was just announced that he had won another of the flips to secure the seat and that very moment he was all-in for 6,400.

Joe Chan in the cutoff and Rajeev Poonhath on the button called, then checked to the A♦K♠7♥4♣8♣ river. Chan bet 5,000 and Poonhath folded.

Blom exposed the J♦5♦ and Chan had him beat with the 4♠4♥.

"Bring me that seat," Blom joked and re-entered shortly after.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Marko Nortje had nearly doubled his stack after the recent re-entry only to then lose most of it. The remainder went in with the Q♦7♦ and he was looked up by Gerrit van der Spoel with the 2♥2♣.

On a board of A♦7♠2♦8♦8♠, the roller coaster ride gave Nortje a flush but van der Spoel paired up to a full house.

Alan Jung was all-in for 20,800 on the K♠J♥5♣Q♦ turn and tabled the K♣J♦ for two pair. Jubal Chetty had that beat for the time being with A♥10♣ but the K♥ river came to the rescue of Jung.

Soon after, Jung played another large pot when he got a shove through to further rise on the leaderboard.

On the tail end of a J♦10♥9♦9♠K♥ board, Gavin Sardini checked and Brett Toker bet 8,000. Once Sardini went into the tank, Toker asked "do you have a nine?".

No reply came but Sardini paid off the bet to get shown the A♦Q♥ for broadway by Toker.
