Small Boost for Antezana

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Franco Da Matta raised it up to 135,000 with the A♠7♠ and Edgar Antezana only called out of the big blind holding the J♥J♦. Once they checked the Q♣5♥2♥ flop, Antezana checked the K♠ turn. Da Matta bet only 80,000 and Antezana called. They checked the 4♥ river and the draw heavy conclusion was checked down for Antezana to win the pot.

Gani Climbs Out of the Danger Zone

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jon Persent raised to 125,000 from the cutoff with the A♥5♥ and Muaaz Gani called on the button with his K♠J♠. They checked to the 6♣6♦2♥10♦J♦ river on which Persent check-folded to a small bet of 90,000.

Gani then raised the K♠9♦ and Jayson Zulch came along from the big blind with 10♠7♠. The A♦5♣2♠6♠K♣ board was checked to the end on which Zulch checked once again. Gani bet 175,000 and forced the next fold.

Persent made it 125,000 to go next with the Q♦J♠, Gani called the hijack with the 5♥5♣ and Zulch defended the 5♦4♦ in the small blind. Franco Da Matta came along with 8♥2♥ in the big blind.

The K♠Q♣10♠ flop saw a bet worth 200,000 by Persent take it down.

Kitching Eliminated by Kossew

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Pierre Kitching
Pierre Kitching

One hand after the previous clash on the outer table, the action folded to Pierre Kitching in the small blind. He pushed all-in for around one million in chips and Jedd Kossew glanced at his cards, then snap-called to reveal the K♥K♣ right away.

Kitching sat there stunned and had not shown his cards yet before he slowly tabled the 10♦8♦.

Kossew turned to the rail and didn't want to see the showdown. The A♣10♣6♠ flop gave Kitching some equity, but the 3♦ turn and 5♠ river ended his run in 14th place for ZAR 64,000.

Persent Extracts Value From Rizvi

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Edgar Antezana raised to 120,000 with the 8♦8♥ and earned two callers in Alexander Rizvi out of the hijack with Q♦Q♣ as well as Jon Persent in the big blind holding K♠J♦.

The K♣9♣7♥ flop was checked to the 3♥ turn on which Persent made it 200,000 to go. Antezana folded and Rizvi called.

Persent bet the 2♦ river for 425,000 and Rizvi paid it off eventually for the Norwegian to pull further ahead.

Pillay Cracks Kings to Survive

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

TA opened to 150,000 on the button and Alvin Pillay reluctantly folded from the big blind.

"If you shove, I call. I have queens," TA said.

One hand later, Michael Cupido raised to 135,000 and Pillay then jammed from the small blind.

Cupido snap-called and declared "sometimes they have kings."

Alvin Pillay: A♥7♣ All in
Michael Cupido: K♥K♦

The kings were cracked on the A♣Q♣3♦8♦8♠ board and Pillay doubled for 685,000.

Persent Extendes Lead on Feature Table

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jaco Mouton limped the A♣10♣ and Jon Persent raised to 200,000 one seat over with the A♥Q♦, which Mouton called. On the Q♣9♠5♣ flop, Mouton check-called a bet of 200,000 and they checked the K♦ on the turn.

Mouton hit top pair with the A♠ river and checked again. Persent bet 450,000 and Mouton paid it off very reluctantly to get shown the bad news.

Turn Jam Wins it For Blanc

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Michael Cupido opened the action with a raise to 130,000 and Alexandre Blanc three-bet to 300,000 in the cutoff, all players behind folded to Cupido who came along.

On the K♣J♣10♠ flop, Cupido quickly check-called for 200,000 and checked again the J♦ turn. Blanc emptied the clip with a shove for 710,000. Cupido flashed his cards to the French player and folded.

Zulch Bad Beats Antezana for a Double

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Jayson Zulch
Jayson Zulch

Jayson Zulch jammed for the last 740,000 from under the gun and Muaaz Gani tank-folded the K♠Q♥ with a short stack on the button. Edgar Antezana three-bet jammed in the small blind. Alexander Rizvi was in the big blind and folded the A♦J♦.

Jayson Zulch: A♣8♠ All in
Edgar Antezana: A♠K♣

The 8♣6♣6♦ flop paired up the weaker kicker of Zulch. Nothing changed on the [Qd turn and 9♦ river, which would have given Rizvi the ace-high flush.
