Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Three ways to the K♥Q♥9♣ flop on the feature table, Greg Tucker bet 17,000 from an early position and Stefan Van Huyssteen called in the hijack with Q♦10♥. Jonathan Hoal then pushed all-in for 111,000 on the button and Tucker called, Van Huyssteen folded.

Jonathan Hoal: A♣9♦ All in
Greg Tucker: K♦K♣

The move at the wrong time brought Hoal's exit after the 2♣ turn and A♥ river.

On a flop of A♠10♠5♦, Hennie Appel checked and Jaryd Jardien in the cutoff bet 17,000. Appel in late position check-shoved for 76,000 and Jardien relcutantly folded.

Up next, a three-way flop of K♠9♣4♠ saw Norman Cherry Sr bet for 15,000 and Jonathan Kalil called in the next seat. They checked the 2♠ turn and Cherry Sr then jammed the 9♥ river for 94,000. Kalil folded and was shown Q♠7♠ for a flush.

Gareth Fourie had already folded and Alan Jung was still in the tank when Jaryd Jardien next to him had gone all-in over the top for 101,000. Jung pondered about it for a short while and then folded 8♣8♠.

Fourie mentioned he had let go of ace-ten and Jardien never showed his cards.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a single-raised four-way flop of 9♠8♦6♠, Dawie Cronje was all-in for 55,000 with 9♣8♣ against the Q♦9♦ of Jonathan Hoal.

The 7♣ turn and A♦ river were both bricks and Hoal took a knock to his stack.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Vishal Ghoorbin raise-called the shove by Hadar Goren for only a handful of big blinds and was ahead with A♠Q♠ versus A♣J♠.

Ghoorbin had previously said "I am not your friend" to Eben Lottering, but that was only a joke. In jest, Lottering rooted against Ghoorbin throughout the 10♥4♠3♣2♣2♦ runout but Goren came up short to bust.

Vilela Earns a Double

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Nic Rowley was eliminated on the live stream table and Dawie Cronje was moved over there, albeit with fewer chips than he had just a few minutes ago.

The reason? Cronje doubled Jamie Vilela before his new seat assignment when he raised 6♣6♠ from under the gun and called Vilela's shove for 60,000 with the latter showing J♥J♠. The Q♣3♥2♦7♣8♥ board was no threat for the superior pocket pair.
