Nortje Eliminated by Rothman
Marko Nortje had been terrorising the table with large river bets but didn't gain a ton of chips. He was able to get Tanith Rothman off a hand not long ago and they both tangled in a pot again. Rothman defended out of the blinds and check-raised the 9♠5♠5♣ flop from 7,000 to 15,000 for Nortje to call.
Rothman led the K♣ turn for 25,000 and Nortje called to then have Rothman bet the 2♠ river for 50,000.
Nortje pushed all-in for 80,500 total and that sent Rothman into agony.
"Flush again?" she asked and one time bank expired before she made the call.
"It was such a good bluff," Nortje said while he rolled over the A♥4♥ and he was then upset when Rothman flipped over the 8♣5♦ for trips fives.
Nortje got into some table chat with Rothman and Cliton Taliwanth, the latter of who he told "she has the worst five" before eventually heading out of the tournament area.
