SM Flops Straight; Takes a Bunch Off Ng

Christian Zetzsche

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Chip leader SM opened to 120,000 with the 5♥4♠ and David Ng just called with the A♣10♦ in the small blind, Danny Dayani called the Q♥3♥ in the big blind. The 7♠6♣3♠ flop gave SM the straight and it checked to Dayani, who bet 175,000 with his bottom pair.

SM just called and Ng then raised to 400,000 with ace-high. Dayani let go and SM flat-called with the current nuts.

The K♠ turn brought a possible flush out there and Ng checked. SM applied maximum pressure and moved all-in to earn a snap-fold.

Gareth Kalil Eliminated in 8th Place (ZAR140,200)

Christian Zetzsche

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Sugen Singh opened to 130,000 with the K♠10♠ and was called by Gareth Kalil in the small blind, who had the 10♣6♣. Norman Cherry defended the 5♦5♥ in the big blind.

The K♣6♦2♣ flop saw Kalil shove for 770,000 into a pot of 440,000 and Cherry got out of the way.

Singh needed an extra time bank but called with the top pair, then all but closed his eyes.

The 10♦ turn and 3♥ river sealed the fate for Kalil, as he bowed out in 8th place.

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Gareth Kalil opened to 155,000 from under the gun with the A♣Q♣ and MAJ just called in the big blind with A♥A♦. The K♥Q♠3♠ flop was checked by MAJ and Kalil checked back.
