Zulch Gets Dicey on the Flop

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Alvin Pillay three-bet to 60,000 preflop and was called by both Reagan Benjamin and Jayson Zulch, leading them to the K♣5♣3♦ flop. Pillay continued for 40,000 and Benjamin called.

Zulch then raised to 105,000 and Pillay reluctantly folded, as did Benjamin.

Pillay teased him into showing and Zulch flipped over one of his cards, the 5♥. In the same motion, his 3♥ was also revealed, perhaps on purpose, and Pillay was left stunned.

"What did you have?" Benjamin was asked, who replied "pocket fours".

Dirk Steenkamp summed it up as follows: "What the fuck are you doing?"

Clive Kikia and Jeebaun Singh left the tournament area at almost the same time and the latter lost a flip with Q♦Q♠ against the A♦K♣ of Alexander Rizvi. The field has now already been whittled down to only 59 hopefuls and the rapid descent towards the money bubble on the higher blinds is in full swing.

Rush Hour for Steenkamp

Dirk Steenkamp has experienced his usual roller coaster ride throughout the entire tournament day and just notched up two eliminations in a row.

In the first hand, his 6♦2♥ out of the big blind hit a full house on the A♣2♠2♣6♣6♥ board to beat an opponent with the A♠8♣.

He then had the K♥5♥ in the small blind and got it in against Calvin Ferreira on the J♥4♥4♣ flop. Ferreira was down to around 60,000 and jammed the A♠Q♠. The 7♥ turn left Ferreira drawing dead to make the K♣ river a formality.

Another table broke and Lissa Szymonowicz ran out of chips to become the next casualty.

The eliminations keep coming at a more rapid pace now and the screens show 65 players left with 43 of them set to be in the money. That number may be corrected shortly, however, as the action has picked up.

Earlier in this level, tournament staff confirmed that at least ten full levels will be played for tonight with one additional level possible thereafter depending on the progress for Day 2.

Ka-Ching for Kitching

A shorter stack got it in with the 8♠8♣ only to run into the Q♦Q♣ of Pierre Kitching. The 9♦4♣3♥K♣10♠ board missed both players and pocket queens secured the knockout. Also no longer in cointention on the same table is Bradley Moore as he now sat down in a Side Event.

Pierre Kitching was flipping for his stack of 134,000 on the outer tables against Daniel Habib, who had recently doubled himself.

Pierre Kitching: A♦Q♣ All in
Daniel Habib: J♣J♠

The Q♠10♥7♣K♠3♠ board was sweaty but the over cards got there for the double.

Level 16 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Three ways to the J♦8♥2♠5♦ turn, Rayhaan Adam faced a bet of 12,000 by Kiran Moodley and the call by SM on the button. He check-jammed for 134,000 out of the big blind and Moodley folded.

SM did the same and said "I hope you show better than a five" to which Adam replied "king jack I can show".
