Mokgoatlheng Cannot Bluff Luyt

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Jared Luyt
Jared Luyt

Jared Luyt reluctantly checked behind the 875K turn and then went deep into the tank when Greg Mokgoatlheng bet the 10 river for 11,000. Two time banks later, Luyt called and Mokgoatlheng announced "I have ace-high" before flipping over the A6.

Luyt tabled the 97 for a pair of sevens and vaulted out of his chair for a moment.

"I almost folded. If you bet a little more, I might," he said.

Brookes Takes From Pillay

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Terry Brookes
Terry Brookes

Alvin Pillay check-called the K108 flop and then check-called the J turn for 20,000. He opted to lead the 6 on the river and Terry Brookes called to get shown the 1010 for a flopped set of tens. Brookes, however, had JJ for a turned set of jacks and mentioned he was afraid Pillay had ace-queen for broadway.

Welgemoed Wins Multi-Way Pot

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On the four-way flop of KQ8, the action checked to Warren Abrahams and his bet of 3,000 on the button was called three ways. The 5 turn saw Ronnie Welgemoed lead for 11,000 from the big blind and everyone folded including Wesley Blom.

"Ace queen?" Blom asked and Welgemoed flashed the Q first. Before raking in the pot, he also tabled the 5 for two pair as well.

Bruintjies Chips Up Without Showdown

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Brandon Bruintjies raised to 2,600 from under the gun to get called by Tanith Rothman on the button and Siva Naidoo in the big blind. On the 966 flop, Naidoo led for 3,500 and Bruintjies called, Rothman folded.

Naidoo bet another 7,000 on the 7 turn to receive a call and slowed down by checking the 10 on the river. Bruintjies splashed in a large bet worth 45,000 and forced out his table neighbour.

Keshav Doubles Through Pillay

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Three ways to the 986 flop, Alvin Pillay checked and then faced a bet of 3,500. Menesh Keshav raised to 10.000 and Pillay check-raised to 28,000. The third player in the hand folded and Keshav moved all-in, Pillay snap-called.

Menesh Keshav: A7 All in
Alvin Pillay: 107

The 5 turn changed nothing as Keshav still needed a ten for a chop or heart to double. He got that with the Q river and doubled for 97,300.
