Christian Zetzsche

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Muaaz Gani raised to 105,000 with the A♠J♦ from an early position and Cliton Taliwanth jammed for 260,000 in the hijack. Sugen Singh four-bet to 600,000 on the button and everyone behind folded including Gani.

Cliton Taliwanth: 10♠10♣ All in
Sugen Singh: Q♦Q♣

The K♥Q♠9♥ flop gave Singh a set of queens while Taliwanth had a gutshot. That came on the J♣ turn and the 2♥ river secured another double-up for the short stack ninja.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sugen Singh raised it up to 100,000 with the A♦2♥ and Braam Van Huyssteen jammed for 315,000 in the next seat. It folded to Muaaz Gani in the big blind, who asked for the stack size and then said "well, I can't fold this, not for eight blinds" before the chips went in, Singh folded.

Braam Van Huyssteen: 10♦10♣ All in
Muuaz Gani: J♠J♦

The dominated pocket pair found no escape on the 4♣4♠3♥A♣K♦ board and that sent Van Huyssteen to the rail in 9th place for ZAR 40,000 ($2,214).
