While the ZAR 50,000 High Roller is still four-handed, another Single-Day ZAR 30,000 High Roller has kicked off with six entries so far.
On Day 1b of the Main Event, there are 29 entries thus far with 25 players in contention and the latest trio in the mix can be found below.
Heads-up to the Q♥J♣4♥5♥ turn, Cliton Taliwanth bet 2,000 and Dirk Steenkamp called. They checked the J♠ on the river and Taliwanth revealed his Q♣9♣ for flopped top pair. Steenkamp had that beat with the J♦10♦ for rivered trips to scoop another pot.
Mid-way through level two, there are three tables in play and two of the early casualties already re-entered while some new faces also appeared.
Jamie Vilela raised to 800 and Jonathan Hoal called, as did Norman Cherry in the cutoff. On the 7♥3♠3♣ flop, Vilela continued for 3,900 and Hoal folded while Cherry raised to 8,000.
"How much are you playing?" Vilela asked and then just flat-called.
"You ask for the stack and then don't push?" Cherry replies ahead of the 6♦ turn to which Vilela replies "you had me confused. They also check down there and on the J♠ river.
Cherry tables the 8♠7♦ and Vilela has that beat with the A♦7♠.
Three ways to the 6♦6♠2♥ flop, Gavin Sardini bet 1,500 and was called by Brown Banda. Jaco Mouton raised to 10,000 and Sardini then jammed for 30,800 to force out Banda. Mouton called and showed his 7♠6♥, which Sardini had pipped with the 8♣6♣ for the slightly superior kicker.
Both players have history for many years and even today tangled in a bigger pot already.
The turn was the 4♥ and nothing changed, but a split pot was less likely. However, the 7♣ river gave Mouton superior two pair and Sardini crashed out.
Level: 2
Blinds: 200/300
Ante: 300
With 5,500 in the middle to the J♦6♣5♥ flop, it checked to Nico Wiechers who bet 3,000 from an early position. Jonathan Hoal called on the button and Dirk Steenkamp check-raised to 9,000. Wiechers then moved all-in and Hoal folded.
"Oh Nico, you have a set?" Steenkamp sighed, then declared "okay, all in call" and pushed forward the chips.
Nico Wiechers: 6♦5♦ 
Dirk Steenkamp: A♥A♦
"Come on, pair the board!" Steenkamp demanded and his wish was granted on the Q♠ turn and Q♥ river for the first casualty of the day.
Peter Sissou limped in from under the gun while putting out a T-500 chip and was called by Norman Cherry as well as Dirk Steenkamp in the big blind. Steenkamp cheked the A♥10♦7♠ flop, Sissou moved all-in for 6,300 and his two opponents folded.
Jaco Mouton four-bet preflop from the button and was called by Gavin Sardini in the big blind. There was only one further street of action on the K♠7♠3♥ flop as they checked down the 10♥ turn and 2♦ river.
"I missed," Sardini declared and Mouton flashed his 7♦ first followed by the 4♠ for a mighty pair of sevens. That was enough to win the pot as Sardini mucked.
