Once the action folded to Pierre Kitching, he raised to 150,000 on the button, Jedd Kossew in the small blind three-bet to 400,000 and Kitching folded the 5♥5♦ face-up.
"Good fold," Kossew said and flashed his A♣K♥.
Alvin Pillay then limped in and Naven Naicker raised. Michael Cupido squeezed big and both folded. Naicker showed ace-queen, Pillay exposed the folded %JhJd] and Cupido had the A♦A♠.
Alvin Pillasy raised preflop and Pierre Kitching three-bet to 300,000. TA flat-called behind that and Pillay folded with a shorter stack behind.
The A♠K♥J♠ flop was checked by TA and Kitching pushed for 650,000 to force out his opponent.
Alexander Rizvi opened to 100,000 with the A♦J♠ and was called by Jayson Zulch in the next seat, who had the K♠10♠. The 9♣8♦4♥ flop and J♥ turn were checked. After the 3♣ river, Rizvi bet 150,000 and dragged in another pot without resistance.
Following a raise by Alvin Pillay and the call by TA, the flop came Q♦7♦4♣. TA checked to Pillay who bet 125,000. The check-raise to 450,000 by TA and that ended the hand right there.
From under the gun, Edgar Antezana raised to 100,000 with the 8♥8♣ and Franco Da Matta called with the A♣J♠. Jaco Mouton squeezed to 400,000 with the A♠K♥ on the button and Antezana was the only caller. The K♣7♠6♥ flop was checked to Mouton and he simply jammed for 1,215,000, Antezana folded.
Muaaz Gani rasied to 110,000 with the J♦10♦ and Alexander Rizvi called with his K♦Q♦. Both picked up a flush draw on the checked through 9♥5♠2♦6♦ turn but the 3♠ river was also checked behind by Rizvi to win the pot.
The 2024 The Hendon Mob Championship Cape Town Million doubled the initial guarantee and generated a ZAR 2,009,280 ($111,193) prize pool, thanks to an overall field of 299 entries. The trophy remained on home soil as Muaaz Gani and Sugen Singh agreed to a heads-up deal with the former claiming the bragging rights as narrow chip leader at the time.
Gani would have normally not agreed to a deal but a closer look at the trophy on the final table changed his mind. "Today was actually a day where I really wanted to have that trophy". Runner-up Singh had also cut a deal when he took down the SunBet Poker Tour Time Square Main Event earlier this year and now conceded the same honour for a bigger piece of the pie.

Justin Cohen: 5♣5♥ 
Michael Cupido: Q♦J♠
The flip went to Cupido on the Q♥9♦9♣6♦A♣ board and that spelled the end in 15th place as he picked up the pay jump to ZAR 64,000.
Edgar Antezana raised the button and then called the shove by table short stack Andrew Holland in the big blind.
Andrew Holland: K♥10♦
Edgar Antezana: K♠J♠
The 8♣4♣4♦ flop had some split pot potential, as did the Q♣ turn. What followed was the 3♣ on the river and that spelled the end for Holland in 16th place.
Marko Nortje pushed all-in from an early position for the last 405,000 and Jedd Kossew called in the next seat.
