Dawie Cronje Eliminated in 17th Place (ZAR38,800)
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Dawie Cronje limped in and Giovanni Zanette did so from the small blind with the 8♦2♦. KM raised to 100,000 in the big blind and Cronje called, Zanette folded.
After the 6♣5♣2♠ flop, KM bet 125,000 and called the shove by Cronje for 240,000 total.
Dawie Cronje: 9♠9♥
KM: J♦J♣
Cronje needed one of the two remaining nines in the deck or running cards to a straight. But he couldn't pull it off with the 6♠ turn and 10♣ river to bow out in 12th place for ZAR38,800 ($2,134).
