In a preflop three-bet pot to the K♣Q♦10♦6♣ turn, Keenan Pienaar check-called a bet of 75,000 by Eben Lottering. He bet the A♥ river for 50,000 and Lottering instantly called with aces only to get shown K♦J♥ by Pienaar.
"What a sick river," the big stack said while raking in the pot.
Max Deveson opened to 50,000 with the A♠J♣ and Harold Brooks called from the big blind with the 9♠6♥. Following the 6♠4♥3♠ flop, Brooks check-called for 50,000 and they checked the 8♠ on the turn.
Brooks led the 10♥ river for 50,000 but folded when Deveson raised it up to 260,000.
On the outer table, Rudolf Fourie has been active but had mixed results. He three-bet to force a fold and show red queens, then lost some chips in single-raised pots. Another bet worth 100,000 on the K♣8♦4♥ got through and Fourie chipped back up.
Giovanni Zanette raised to 60,000 with the 9♠9♥ and Harold Brooks did so with Q♦Q♥, Hennie Appel moved all-in for 70,000 on the button holding A♥7♦ and was called both times.
That led them to the J♥10♠8♥ flop on which Zanette checked, Brooks bet 125,000 and Zanette called.
The 5♠ turn saw Zanette check once more, Brooks bet 260,000 and isolated successfully. Nothing changed withz the 6♣ river and Appel was eliminated in 16th place for ZAR44,800 ($2,464).
Max Deveson raised to 40,000 with the 2♠2♥ on the button and Hennie Appel called in the small blind holding the K♣10♣. The K♦5♥2♣ flop gave Appel top pair and he check-called for 20,000. After the Q♠ turn, Appel check-called for another 130,000 and checked the 7♣ on the river.
Deveson now bet 395,000 with 30,000 behind. Appel went deep into the tank and eventually called to get shown the bottom set, dropping to a mere three big blinds.
Level: 21
Blinds: 10,000/25,000

Alan Jung jammed for 130,000 from under the gun with the 8♠8♣ and Harold Brooks called in the cutoff with the K♣Q♠.
The J♥5♠2♠10♠ turn had Brooks with nineteen outs but the 5♦ river was a blank for Jung to double.
Stephen Courtney opened the action with a raise to 55,000 and the only caller was Nico Wiechers in the big blind. On a flop of Q♣J♦9♠, Wiechers checked and Courtney made it 60,000 to go to win the pot without any further resistance.
Harold Brooks raised to 55,000 with the J♠J♥ in an early position and Giovanni Zanette came along in the big blind holding the K♥Q♦. Like they had done before, Zanette went into checking mode against Brooks with flopped top pair and Brooks checked back the K♠8♠2♥ flop.
On the 6♦ turn, Zanette check-raised from 60,000 to 150,000 and jammed the Q♥ river for 225,000. Brooks ended up paying it off to get shown the bad news and Zanette doubled back into contention.
Greg Tucker squeezed to 90,000 in the big blind and then called the button shove by Taariq Jaftha for 520,000 in total.
Taariq Jaftha: A♦K♠ 
Greg Tucker: Q♦Q♠
Jaftha took the lead on the A♣6♦4♣ flop, then retained it with the 7♣ turn and K♥ river.
