The second player to reach seven figures on Day 2 is Florian Bock. He opened to 35,000 and then called the three-bet shove by Adam Gamsy in the small blind.
Adam Gamsy: 5♠5♥
Florian Bock: 9♣9♥
The A♥6♣4♠A♠Q♥ board sent Gamsy to the payout desk in 21st place.
Marko Nortje opened to 35,000 with J♥10♠ and called a three-bet to 80,000 by Edgar Antezana with the A♣A♦ in the cutoff. They checked the A♥3♠2♣ flop and the 8♥ turn saw Nortje check-fold when Antezana bet.
Within the first two hours, the 39 hopefuls have been culled down to just 20 contenders and they are now on a scheduled 15-minute break during which some smaller denominations will be raced off.
Abraham Van Huyssteen defended his big blind against a button raise and check-called a bet by Muaaz Gani on the K♥5♥3♥ flop. He then checked the 9♣ turn, Gani bet 70,000 and that won the pot uncontested.
Sugen Singh raised to 50,000 and then folded the A♠ face-up when Jaco Mouton three-bet to 130,000.
Shortly after, Marko Nortje three-bet preflop against Didier Mery in a blind battle with the former check-jamming the J♠6♣3♦ flop for 295,000. Nortje had 75,000 invested and reluctantly called the shove.
Didier Mery: J♣10♠
Marko Nortje: A♥K♦
The top pair of Mery remained ahead throughout the 5♦ turn as well as the 7♦ river for Mery to double.
"Well played," a somewhat sarcastic statement by Nortje followed.
