Christian Zetzsche

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The camera crew got ready to film from up close over on table nine when Howard Lipman was all-in and at risk preflop against Peter Sissou.

Howard Lipman: A♦K♥
Peter Sissou: 9♣9♠

The pocket pair remained ahead on the J♣8♠2♥5♣2♠ and the eighty-three-year old Sissou banged his hand on the table in celebration.

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Sugen Singh had folded in a multi-way pot claiming to have let go of pocket jacks on a ten-high board with flush draw. That hand saw Adam Woolf double with 9♣9♥ for a set of nines to leave Okkie Fourie short.

One hand later, Muaaz Gani raised to 2,200 and Singh jammed for around 13,000 only in the hijack. Jon Per Persent called on the button and Gani quickly folded, joking "he always has it".

Sugen Singh: A♣10♠ All in
Jon Per Persent: K♠K♣

Singh picked up some outs on the 8♥7♣6♠ flop but the Q♥ turn as well as 4♥ river were both bricks.

Adam Woolf	80,000 40,000	40,000

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a three-way three-bet action to the A♣10♣6♠ flop, Joe Rahme as the preflop three-bettor in the big blind continued for 11,000. Jacobus de Nysschen folded before Merwan Corront then pushed all-in for 80,300 total.

That sent Rahme into the tank and both engaged in table chat again. Rahme eventually folded the A♠Q♣ face-up and Corront collected the pot without showdown.

Joe Rahme	150,000 10,000	10,000

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

High Roller finalist Muaaz Gani bet the Q♥9♥6♥ out of the big blind for 1,100 and under-the-gun limper David Ng called. Gani then bet another 4,000 on the 3♥ turn for Ng to call before the A♦ river brought a third bet worth 5,500 by Gani.

Ng folded and mentioned he had flopped two pair.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A preflop raising war brought the chips of Bernard Gossard into the middle and he was looked up by Alvin Pillay, while Nick Sissou and Sugen Singh sent their cards into the muck.

Bernard Gossard: A♥J♥ All in
Alvin Pillay: Q♥Q♣

The door card was an ace but the flop came A♠Q♠3♠ to give Pillay a set. Some chop outs came with the 8♠ turn but the K♥ river sent Gossard to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Darryl Shaff raised and Okkie Fourie then three-bet to 4,800 in the big blind. "Okay, I gonna call and beat your ace-queen," Shaff declared and tossed in a T-5,000 chip for the call.

They checked the A♥K♠9♥ flop before both invested 6,000 on the 10♣ turn. Both checked again the 6♣ river and Shaff joked "give me the money" as he checked behind.

Fourie was first to show and tabled his A♣Q♠ for the top pair. Shaff had that indeed beat with the K♥10♥ and fulfilled both parts of his prediction.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There are five tables in action right now and a very animated Huawei Sun called for the floor, then explained vividly how a player in the one seat could not see if Peter Sissou in the nine seat had cards still.

Sissou was also involved in the hand as he peeled a three-bet to the A♣8♥5♦ flop. With some 9,000 in the middle, Muzey Gothey bet 5,000 and Sissou folded.
