Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Chad Khoury open-jammed for 119,000 with the Q♦J♦ and Benjamin Lingenfelder reshoved with the A♥K♥.

Khoury demanded for his one time and took the lead on the Q♣9♠5♠ flop. The 4♠ turn was a blank but the K♦ river restored the preflop order to knock out Khoury.

Michael Gossayn then bowed out on the feature table before John van der Westhuizen was all-in for just shy of six big blinds against Marko Nortje.

John van der Westhuizen: K♥Q♣ All in
Marko Nortje: J♣10♣

Both had a piece of the K♠10♠2♣ flop and Nortje asked for a club.

That came with the 6♣ turn and he already said sorry. Indeed, the suckout came with the J♦ river for van der Westhuizen to depart on a pay jump.
