Okkie Fourie bet the Q♦9♣4♣2♥ turn for 3,000 and Gareth Kalil called. They both checked the 4♠ on the river and Fourie showed his 10♥10♠ for tens and fours. Kalil nodded and mucked his own 8♣8♥.

Three ways to the J♥J♦5♦ flop with 8,000 each invested, SM was first to act and nodded, then pushed forward his cards before telling the dealer he was all-in. He moved the chips next and then pulled back the cards behind the chips while he was eating a snack that had arrived not long ago.
He forced two folds, as Kade Ollewagen also sent the cards into the muck as last player to act.

Cliton Taliwanth bet the 5♣4♥3♦10♠3♣ river and was raised to 15,000 by Vishal Ghoorbin. Taliwanth mucked a ten and Ghoorbin told him "I will show you," flashing the 7♠6♣ for the flopped straight.
On the same table, Jubal Chetty reraised to 8,000 preflop soon after and was called by Kosta Kotsikaris. They checked to the K♣3♦2♠2♣4♦ river on which Chetty check-called for 12,000 and won the pot with the Q♦Q♥.

Right before the end of the level, Stephen Courtney went to war against Chris Luyt. They were on a flop of A♥J♣9♣ and Courtney bet 3,500. Luyt raised to 8,500 only for Courtney to make it 17,000 to do.
"Do you have a set?" Luyt asked and called shortly after. Once they checked down the 4♥ turn and 6♦ river, Luyt added "it's either saving you or me". He showed the J♠9♠ for two pair and that won the pot, as Courtney only had A♠5♥ for top pair.

In the last hand prior to the break, there was multi-action over on table two. Four ways to the 5♥4♦3♥ flop with a bet of 10,000 out in front of Hafiz Juma, Jubal Chetty pushed all-in from the very next seat in the hijack. Vishal Ghoorbin in the cutoff tank-folded and Kosta Kotsikaris also got out of the way. Juma burned through three time banks and then folded the A♠2♠ for the flopped wheel.
Chetty eventually exposed the 8♥6♥ for straight and flush draw. They even convinced the dealer to rabbit hunt the next card, which would have been the K♥ on the turn.
