High Roller Final Table Underway
Throughout two tournament days, the ZAR 50,000 High Roller has seen a field of 72 entries cut down to the nine-handed final table and the UK's James Rann was the unfortunate bubble finisher last night after which the remaining players bagged up their chips.
Rayhaan Adam leads the way but he is closely followed by one of the two non South-African players in the field in Sascha Manns. The other contender to try and pry away the trophy from home soil is Scotsman Dean Hutchison, who is among the shorter stacks.
