Rizvi Traps Antezana for Profit

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Edgar Antezana opened to 50,000 with the 97 on the button for Alexander Rizvi to defend the Q7 in the big blind. On the Q72 flop, Rizvi trapped his top two pair and chekc-called for 50,000. They checked the 9 turn and Rizvi check-raised the A river from 75,000m to 200,000 to get called.

Antezana was not happy to get shown the bad news.

Demuru Felted by Rizvi

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Gabriel Demuru pushed all-in for 425,000 in the cutoff and was called by Alexander Rizvi in the hijack, who quickly called.

Gabriel Demuru: A3 All in
Alexander Rizvi: JJ

The K879 turn gave some hope with the flush draw but the 6 river changed nothing whatsoever, as Demuru bowed out prior to the final three tables.

"What the Fuck Ray?"

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

There were only around 250,000 in the middle to the AJ5310 river on which Rayhaan Adam pushed all-in for more than the average. Franco Da Matta asked for a count as the shove was for a massive 1,420,000 and then vividly exclaimed "what the fuck Ray?"

Sascha Manns joked "I want a t-shirt with that please".

Da Matta tried to get some info out of Adam but eventually folded, while Adam didn't show his cards. He claimed to have had two pair with ace-jack but nobody at the table really believed that.

Mokgoatlheng Eliminated by Adam

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Over on the outer tables, the JJ of Greg Mokgoatlheng were an over pair to the 1063 flop and up against Rayhaan Adam with the A5. The 10 turn left Mokgoatlheng on the ropes as he now needed a miracle full house to stay in contention. No help came with the 7 river and Mokgoatlheng bowed out in 29th place.

Naicker Doubles Through Manns

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Three ways to the A86 flop, the action checked to Naven Naicker and he bet 65,000. Jon Persent in the small blind called and Sascha Manns check-raised to 205,000 in the big blind. Naicker gave a lot of speech before he lost two time banks and then moved all-in for 575,000.

Persent folded and Manns called.

Naven Naicker: AQ All in
Sascha Manns: A2

Andrew Holland predicted that Manns was gonna hit the deuce because he was the "luckiest player in the world but the 6 turn and 5 river were two blanks.

Mazabow and Rann on the Rail

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Ariel Mazabow
Ariel Mazabow

Michael Cupido took a very aggressive line when he clicked it back on the 862 flop when he faced a bet by Ariel Mazabow, a raise by Rayhaan Adam and then check-three-bet himself. Mazabow only called and Adam folded.

Cupido jammed the 4 turn for 800,000 effective and Mazabow snap-called.

Ariel Mazabow: 88 All in
Michael Cupido: KQ

The river brought the 5 for the flush and Mazabow busted in spectacular fashion.

"If he clicks it back on the flop, I am folding but when the heart comes on the turn I was getting it in," an ecstatic Cupido said after his vidid celebration.

The UK's James Rann also busted but in a more standard fashion. He was all-in for 500,000 with the AK from the small blind and Jon Persent looked him up with the KK.

"The ace of spades is a good card," Rann said right before the flop came A74 flop. Persent was down to the case king and got it with the K turn. Rann needed another ace and missed on the 4 river.
