Luqman A raised to 60,000 with the A♠10♥ in an early position and Mariette Language called in the hijack with the 7♣6♣. The 9♦7♦6♥ flop was checked to Language and she bet 60,000. Luqman A got away from it and folded.

Van der Spoel Doubles Through Wiese

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Henk Wiese defended the big blind against a button raise by Gerrit van der Spoel and check-called a bet of 80,000 on the A♥7♥3♥ flop.

That led them to the 9♦ turn on which Wiese checked again. Van der Spoel announced all-in and Wiese simply shrugged, then called within five seconds. He had been listening to music and didn't hear the words all-in, but called it off for most of his stack indeed.

Gerrit van der Spoel: A♠K♦ All in
Henk Wiese: K♥3♣

The river was the J♠ and van der Spoel doubled for 230,000 to leave Wiese on fumes.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After two eliminations on the live stream table, the field has reached the final two tables. The open seats were balanced by tournament staff and there was no significant hand on the outer table yet. All live stream hands will be backdated once they appear on stream, the updates after the dinner break will recommence on delay.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mariette Language raised to 40,000 with the 7♣6♣ and Nadav Mazor moved all-in for 234,000 in the hijack. Kosta Kotsikaris called from the small blind and Language folded.

"You have jacks, right?" Mazor asked but Kotsikaris was one notch worse.

Nadav Mazor: 8♥8♣ All in
Kosta Kotsikaris: 10♦10♣

"He found the heat" another player remarked when Kotsikaris showed the superior hand once more.

There was no escaping for Mazor on a board of A♦J♣10♥A♠6♠ and he bowed out in 18th place shortly after the field was balanced on the final two tables.

Giovanni Zanette Eliminated in 19th Place (ZAR49,265/$2,611)

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Down to the last 176,000 and on the button, Giovanni Zanette moved all-in and was called by Kosta Kotsikaris in the big blind.

Giovanni Zanette: Q♣8♦ All in
Kosta Kotsikaris: A♦9♦

The K♦7♣3♠ flop changed nothing but the A♠ turn was dreadful for Zanette, as his elimination was confirmed prior to the now meaningless 3♥ river.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Chrissy Luyt pushed all-in from the button for around 170,000 on the outer tables and was called by Jeff Kossew in the big blind.

Chrissy Luyt: 8♠8♣ All in
Jeff Kossew: K♣J♠

The 10♣2♠2♦ flop changed nothing but Kossew took the lead with the K♥ turn, the Q♦ river brought no help to Luyt and he exited in 20th place.

Level 20 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Adam Woolf raised to 45,000 with the A♦Q♥ and picked up a call by Mariette Language with the Q♦J♥ in the cutoff, Giovanni Zanette defended the big blind holding 6♦4♦.

The A♥10♦5♦ flop was checked to Woolf, who bet 55,000. Both opponents came along and then checked the J♠ turn to see the A♣ river. Zanette missed his flush draw and bet 100,000, Woolf called and Language folded.
