Level 23 : 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Nellie Park moved all-in with the 6♥6♦ from under the gun for 215,000 and Jonathan Woolley called all-in from the hijack for 195,000 with A♦K♣.

The flip went to Woolley on the J♣3♠2♥A♣Q♥ runout and Park was left with fewer than one full big blind.

"I swap five percent with you for that," Woolley told Park after all was over.

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Maureen Bloechlinger got her last chips into the middle preflop with the K♥4♠ and was dominated by her previous nemesis Wesley Blom, who tabled the K♣Q♠.

The kicker played on the 10♣5♣3♠9♦2♥ board and Bloechlinger was ousted in 14th place, following Nellie Park to the payout desk to collect ZAR 25,000.

Blom then took on Didier Mery got 175,000 preflop in the very next hand from under the gun with Blom in the big blind.

Didier Mery: A♥A♠ All in
Wesley Blom: 6♠6♣

The J♠7♣5♣ flop gave Blom some runner runner equity and that percentage grew on the 2♣ turn. Blom vividly demanded for a club and the celebrations could then be heard in the entire room when the 9♣ struck on the river.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With three spots away from the nine-handed final table, 12 players are spread across the two tables.

Marko Nortje has dropped into the middle of the pack and started open-shoving into the blinds and stole them twice.

Apart from that, no major action has unfolded as of lately.

Jonathan Woolley raised to 60,000 and Wesley Blom defended the big blind, then checked the A♠10♠7♥ flop. Woolley asked what the minimum was and thought it was sixty thousand, before he bet 50,000. Blom folded without much hesitation.

One hand later, Muaaz Gani raised to 60,000 on the button. Blom three-bet to 175,000 and took down the pot.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

For the fourth time, Marko Nortje opted to open shove and this time it was from the button. Jonathan Woolley called all-in from the big blind and Nortje instantly called for the attention of Cliton Taliwanth on the feature table.

Jonathan Woolley: A♥K♦ All in
Marko Nortje: Q♥10♥

The two live cards struck on the Q♦10♦2♠ flop to leave Woolley on the ropes. He needed a jack when the 7♣ followed on the turn, but found none on the 8♦ river to leave the outer table with his head shaking.

"Fourth time. I just shoved so you he can't shove ace-five," Nortje clarified his adjustment in strategy.

Woolley's exit came in 12th place for ZAR 28,000.
