KM Eliminated in 3rd Place (ZAR402,000)
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
After several medium-sized pots without any major chip changes except for Stephen Courtney taking the lead from Harold Brooks, some confusion broke out when it was declared "eighty more" as Courtney had that out in front from the big blind.
KM in the small blind then limp-raised to 370,000 only for Courtney to reraise to 820,000. KM pushed all-in for 3,150,000 and Courtney snap-called.
KM: Q♦Q♣ 
Stephen Courtney: A♠A♥
The ultimate cooler in three-handed play saw no surprise on the K♥7♣2♣K♠8♦ runout and KM was eliminated in third place for a payday of ZAR402,000 ($22,110). With three minutes left in the level, the final two players then went on a break ahead of the heads-up duel.
