Keenan Pienaar three-bet Sean Bloom to force a fold and continue his relentless aggression on the outer table after the dinner break.
He then opened to 60,000 from the cutoff into the big blind of Taariq Jaftha, who jammed for 250,000 and was called.
Taariq Jaftha: 3♦3♣ 
Keenan Pienaar: A♠8♥
The 10♣5♣3♠7♣3♥ board awarded the double for Jaftha in style via four of a kind.
Dawie Cronje limped in and Giovanni Zanette did so from the small blind with the 8♦2♦. KM raised to 100,000 in the big blind and Cronje called, Zanette folded.
After the 6♣5♣2♠ flop, KM bet 125,000 and called the shove by Cronje for 240,000 total.
Dawie Cronje: 9♠9♥
KM: J♦J♣
Cronje needed one of the two remaining nines in the deck or running cards to a straight. But he couldn't pull it off with the 6♠ turn and 10♣ river to bow out in 12th place for ZAR38,800 ($2,134).
Taariq Jaftha jams for the last 130,000 in the cutoff and Sean Bloom in the big blind used one time bank before making the call.
Taariq Jaftha: 7♣4♣
Sean Bloom: K♠8♦
The 10♣6♦3♣ flop gave Jaftha a double draw, which he missed with the 10♦ turn. However, there was one more card to come and the 5♠ river improved Jaftha to a straight.
Giovanni Zanette opened to 45,000 with the A♦8♦ and Harold Brooks three-bet to 100,000 with K♥K♦ two seats over in middle position. They headed to the A♠5♥4♥ flop on which Zanette check-called for 50,000 and checked again the 10♦ on the turn. Brooks fired a second barrel for 90,000 and received a second check-call.
There was one further twist to the story as the K♠ river on which Zanette checked. Brooks bet 150,000 and his opponent grabbed some of his time bank extensions to mull it over some more. Zanette eventually called and was shown the bad news.
Sean Bloom raised the button to 45,000 and Rudolf Fourie three-bet to 115,000 in the small blind. The very active Keenan Pienaar four-bet to more than 600,000 and both folded.
One hand later, Taariq Jaftha raised from an early position and was called by Pienaar in the small blind as well as Nico Wiechers in the big blind. Pienaar checked the J♦8♠2♥ flop and Wiechers jammed for 165,000. Jaftha called and Pienaar folded, albeit with a sm irk on the face.
Nico Wiechers: 10♠9♦
Taariq Jaftha: 2♣2♦
The 7♣ turn improved Wiechers to the jack-high straight, and the Q♠ river bumped it up to the queen-high straight for the double.
Howard Brooks opened to 50,000 in the cutoff with the Q♠J♦ and Dawie Cronje defended the big blind off a short stack with 120,000 behind, holding the 5♦4♣.
The 7♥6♦3♠ flop saw Cronje with the nut straight and he check-raised all-in, Brooks called 85,000 on top of his bet.
Nothing changed with the 10♣ turn and 3♥ river for Cronje to double as well on the live stream table.
Keenan Pienaar opened from an early position and was called only by Sean Bloom in the big blind. They checked the J♥10♣8♠ flop and Bloom led the 6♠ turn for 55,000, Pienaar called.
Both checked the 5♠ on the river and Bloom shook his head before exposing K♦Q♦ for a missed straight draw, while Pienaar won the pot with the A♥9♠.
Vishal Ghoorbin was all-in for the last 155,000 and KM looked him up for the following flip.
Vishal Ghoorbin: A♣J♦
KM: 7♠7♦
The board ran out A♥9♠4♥2♠6♥ and Ghoorbin doubled.
Before their table broke, Greg Tucker and Chrissy Luyt tangled in a preflop confrontation to get all the chips into the middle.
Tucker opeened to 40,000 and Luyt three-bet to 90,000. The four-bet shove by Tucker followed and Luyt instantly called.
Chrissy Luyt: K♠K♥
Greg Tucker: A♦K♦
The 4♦2♦2♠ flop provided an additional flush draw for Tucker, which he missed on the 7♣ turn. However, the 9♦ fell on the river and Luyt was eliminated in 18th place for ZAR38,800 ($2,134)
Jamie Vilela jammed the button for 145,000 and was called by both players in the blinds including Keenan Pienaar and Eben Lottering.
They checked the J♦J♠2♠ flop before Pienaar led the 9♣ turn for 25,000, Lottering called. Both invested another 50,000 on the 9♠ river and Pienaar revealed his A♠J♥ for jacks full of nines. Lottering had the K♦Q♥ and Vilela was eliminated holding the A♥6♥.
Vilela bows out in 19th place for ZAR38,800 ($2,134) and the remaining 18 players will now be balanced across two tables.
