The Chip Leaders Chip Up
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Marko Nortje had a bet of 240,000 paid off by Menesh Keshav on the K♦9♥2♥8♥8♣ river and tabled the Q♦8♦ for trips eights on the button to win a decent showdown pot, further cementing his status as the chip leader.
Michael Cupido followed suit when he jammed into Tim Akinnusi. There had been a raise to 25,000 and two callers. Akinnusi squeezed huge to 200,000 and Cupido moved all-in. It folded back to Akinnusi who burned two time banks to fold the K♠K♦.
Rudy Frick had disappeared prior to that when his A♦K♥ flipped against the 2♠2♥ of Edgar Antezana. The mighty ducks hit a full house on the Q♠7♦2♣3♦Q♥ board.
