Steenkamp Eliminated by Gani
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
The former feature table had seen some wild swings to the chip stacks and Dirk Steenkamp was left on the shorter side once more. Muaaz Gani had doubled through him with A♦10♣ versus A♥9♦ when the kicker played on the J♦J♥2♣5♦Q♦ and they clashed again on the outer table thereafter.
On the 9♣9♦6♦J♥2♥ board, Steenkamp check-jammed for 300,000 and Gani called.
Steenkamp tabled the Q♣J♠ for jacks and nines but Gani had the goods with the 9♠8♥ for trips eights. For his 24th place, he receives ZAR 40,000.
