"Come onnnn" Justin Cohen shouted when he was all-in preflop against Dirk Steenkamp in the following showdown.
Justin Cohen: A♠A♥
Dirk Steenkamp: 6♥6♠
The J♠2♣2♠7♦4♠ board kept the pocket rockets ahead and Steenkamp took a minor hit to his stack.
On the tail end of the 10♣4♣2♦Q♠3♠ board, Naven Naicker in the big blind check-called a bet worth 130,000 by Jedd Kossew. The latter showed the 4♥4♦ and a disgusted Naicker said "oh come on" before he mucked his Q♣2♣ for two pair.
Level: 18
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 10,000
One last hand was still running several minutes into the break during which a large pot had unfolded between Marko Nortje and Alexandre Blanc. The former jammed the K♠Q♦J♠8♦9♠ river and Blanc went deep into the tank and burned all but two time banks before he nodded and said "okay Marko, I fold" and showed the A♦10♦.
Nortje flashed the J♥ first followed by the 10♠ for the nut (straight flush) blocker.
Jaco Mouton raised to 25,000 and Braam Van Huyssteen three-bet to 55,000 with the A♣K♦. Mouton four-bet his A♠A♦ to 155,000 and Van Huyssteen called to see the J♠8♥5♥ flop. The check by Van Huyssteen led to the shovre of Mouton for 331,000 and it went through without any further action.
Only 54 players remain and they are now on another scheduled 15-minute break during which the live stream table will be changed once more. At least two more levels will be played tonight and possibly one further beyond that depending on the progress with the money bubble soon approaching.
Alexander Rizvi opened to 16,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Martin Smit in the small blind, who pushed for 58,000.
Rizvi asked for a count and repeated the question again to the dealer while he was briefly in the tank.
"Not good for your table image," another player mentioned before Rizvi called.
Martin Smit: Q♠J♠
Alexander Rizvi: K♥10♦
The K♦9♣8♠ flop gave Rizvi top pair while the 3♠ turn had Smit pick up a flush draw on top. Nothing changed with the 3♣ river and that spelled the end for Smit.
It was a big flip on the outer tables and Jonathan Hoal was not willing to fold the 8♦8♠ preflop. They were up against Daniel Habib with the A♣K♥ and the Q♦Q♥J♥10♣A♦ board gave Habib broadway. The stacks were counted and Habib's 427,000 covered.
On a flop of 6♠4♥2♦, Jonathan Hoal bet 30,000 from under the gun and Gavin Sardini raised to 60,000. Hoal went into self-talk mode and said "you can't have a pair" before eventually tank-folding and putting his opponent on pocket kings.
Sardini flipped over his 10♦10♥ before raking in the pot.
One table over, Alexandre Blanc was up with A♣Q♣ against the K♣J♥ of Brett Kramer. The 9♣3♠3♦3♣7♥ board missed both players and Kramer was gone.
Two shorter stacks left in the field clashed preflop with sub 15 big blind stacks.
SM: A♥3♥
Danie van der Berg: A♦K♥
The 9♦8♣8♥ flop and 10♣ turn made a split pot possible but the kicker played on the 6♣ river to eliminate the former SPT Main Event finalist.
