Graham Savings Eliminated in 24th Place (ZAR43,450)

Christian Zetzsche

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

Norman Cherry raised for Graham Savings to call in the next seat. The Q♣10♥9♣ flop brought a bet and call before they got it in after the 8♠ turn on which Savings check-called the shove by Savings.

Graham Savings: K♥Q♦ All in
Norman Cherry:; Q♥J♥

Savings needed a jack to stay in contention but the 3♣ river was a blank. The 295,000 of Savings were covered by Cherry and that knocked out Savings in 24th place for ZAR43,450.

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

Over on the outer tables, Gareth Kalil peeled a three-bet by Samuel Tebege and check-called a bet on the Q♠8♠2♠ flop. Kalil check-raise the J♣ turn. Tebege bet 60,000 with 265,000 behind and Kalil check-raised to 500,000.

Tebege even tually called and the cards were flipped over.

Gareth Kalil: Q♦J♥

"I have outs," Tebege said in table chat but the 9♦ river was not among them to send the German to the rail in 23rd place.

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

Gareth Kalil clicked back to 130,000 after Darryl Shaff had raised to 60,000 with the latter then moving all-in for 480,000 in the hijack. Kalil snap-called in the cutoff and had the best of it.

Darryl Shaff: Q♥Q♣ All in
Gareth Kalil: A♦A♣

The board ran out 4♥3♥2♦Q♦4♠ and Shaff made queens full.

Kalil stayed in the mix despite the setback and then had Ronit Chamani at risk, who was all-in from the big blind for 210,000 on the A♦5♣2♠ flop.

Ronit Chamani: A♥5♥ All in
Gareth Kalil: 9♠3♠

"I am going for the four," Kalil joked but the 10♥ turn as well as Q♣ river brought another setback.

Gareth Kalil continued to get involved in many hands and chipped up while no major pots were played.
