Two Knockouts for Pather
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Kinesh Pather limped under the gun and Stephen Courtney jammed for 20,000 in the small blind. Braam Van Huyssteen called in the big blind, as did Pather and they headed to the K♥Q♦7♥ flop. Van Huyssteen check-folded when Pather bet 45,000.
Stephen Courtney: J♠10♣ 
Kinesh Pather. K♣J♥
The 6♥ turn and Q♥ river gave Pather, who was already in the lead, more strength in the form of a flush.
One hand later, Van Huyssteen got it in preflop with 10♦9♣ versus Q♥J♥ against Pather in a battle of the blinds. Neither player hit on the [Kc7c3sAsKh6 board and the queen played for Pather to earn another knockout.
