Maverick Zackey was eliminated on the feature table to bring the field down to the last 30 contestants and the next all-in showdown unfolded on the outer tables.
It was a classic flip in which Braam Van Huyssteen was all-in for 243,000 with the Q♣Q♥. Giovanni Zanette put him at risk with the A♦K♣ but couldn't get there on the 10♣4♣2♦6♦7♣ runout to fork over a portion of his big stack.
"Nice hand Braam, I folded an ace and queen," Jaco Mouton said in table chat.
Over on the feature table, Maverick Zackey was all-in for the last 40,000 and ahead with A♦J♥. Nico Wiechers had the slightly inferior kicker with the A♣10♦ but got there on a board of Q♣8♦2♠Q♦10♠.
Norman Cherry Sr got the short stack in with the K♠J♠ and KM did so with A♦7♠ in the next seat. The 5♥4♥3♥6♦5♦ board gave KM a straight for the double and Cherry Sr had 12,000 left.
He was all-in the next hand with the A♣10♥ while Nic Ioannoy with A♥9♥ and Rudolf Fourie with 7♥7♣ played the side pot. They checked the A♦8♦5♦ flop, Ioannoy bet the 9♣ turn for 20,000 and Fourie folded. Cherry Sr couldn't escape on the 2♠ river
Norman Cherry Sr was last spotted on the feature table with a mere ten blinds and lost those to bow out in 33rd place.
Moments later on the outer tables, Danny Dayani raised to 30,000 and then faced the shove by JS for 213,000.
"I am guessing queens or jacks," Dayani said and then called all-in.
Danny Dayani: A♠K♥
JS: A♣Q♦
The Q♠10♦2♠2♥2♦ runout gave JS deuces full of queens and Dayani was knocked out as well.
KM opened to 25,000 with the 3♥3♦ and Zoran Kljajic called with the 4♥4♦ as they headed to the 7♦4♠3♣ flop, which both checked. The K♣ turn brought a clicking war in which Kljajic was at risk for 202,000 with the superior set. Nothing changed on the 7♥ river and KM was left with a short stack.
The Little Slam is picking up a lot of speed while the Main Event has slowed down on the last four tables. There are 33 players remaining at the moment but several short stacks are hanging in there to try and reach the next few pay jumps.
Gareth Fourie was all-in with a short stack and tabled the A♣8♣, looked up by Sean Bloom with the A♥J♠. The kicker played on the J♦4♠2♣8♦5♠ board as both connected to preserve the preflop order and Fourie was ousted in 34th place.
Down to only 106,000 in chips, Zoran Kljajic was all-in with the 10♦10♣ via three-bet shove as second player to act following an open raise by Nic Ioannoy, who called.
Ioannoy had one over card with the A♥6♠ but couldn't get there on the 9♥7♠7♣Q♦4♥ runout.
