Pienaar Takes Big Pot Off Khan
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Keenan Pienaar was eliminated during the first few levels of the ZAR 50,000 High Roller and didn't re-enter. Instead, he jumped into Day 1a of the Main Event and ran up a big stack right away.
Towards the end of level three, he then check-raised from under the gun on the Q♣7♠4♣6♠ turn from 10,000 to 24,000 and Peter Khan called. Pienaar bet the 7♣ river for 30,000 and Khan reluctantly called within his thirty second shot clock.
Pienaar tabled 5♠3♣ and won the big pot with his bottom end of the straight. "You must have had kings," he told Khan, who never showed his cards and instead sent them to the muck.
