Gerhard Oosthuizen raised the button and then called the three-bet shove by Sean Botes for 370,000 in the small blind.
Sean Botes: K♦J♠
Gerhard Oosthuizen: A♥K♥
The one live card failed to connect on the 9♠3♥3♠8♥9♥ runout and Oosthuizen made the ace-high flush for good measure as Botes vanished in 19th place.

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.
