Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

"Ace-jack is good," Fourie announced and exposed his slightly inferior A♥10♠. But it was Cherry who won the pot with the best ace, holding A♣K♠.

Shah's end came when he jammed a short stack with the Q♥10♥ and Roy Bitton had the A♥K♥. Neither player connected with the 8♦7♦5♣2♣9♦ board to keep ace-king high ahead and bring the field to the last 31 contenders.

Stephen Courtney opened the action with a raise to 25,000 and Ricky Toker three-bet to 75,000. The four-bet jam by Courtney followed and Toker called for the 175,000 he had behind.

Stephen Courtney: 8♠8♣

The A♦8♥6♥ flop gave Courtney a set and it was all over on the J♥ turn to make the K♣ river bitter sweet for Toker.
