Big Stacks Maistry and Mokgoathleng Battle

Level 5 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Gregory Maistry
Gregory Maistry

Greg Mokgoathleng raised the button to 800 and called a three-bet to 1,900 by Gregory Maistry in the small blind. Maistry bet the 975 flop for 3,700 and the 3 turn for 6,500, both of which Mokgoathleng called. On the A river, both checked and Maistry tabled the 1010.

"I was hoping for a ten," Mokgoathleng said as he flashed the J8 for a missed double gutshot.

Bloechlinger Eliminated by Frick

Level 4 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Maureen Bloechlinger
Maureen Bloechlinger

On the heads-up turn of 10623, Maureen Bloechlinger check-raised out of the blinds for half of her stack and then called when Rudolf Frick pushed all-in.

Bloechlinger's 109 for top pair were drawing dead as Frick had flopped a set with the 22. That made the Q river a formality and the stacks were counted. The 25,500 of Bloechlinger were covered and she headed to the rail.

"Sorry Maureen," Frick said and Bloechlinger smiled "I am not coming back". Her attempt at running up a bigger stack than on Day 1a will thus conclude for the time being.

Hennie Appel
Hennie Appel

Heads-up to the 101072 turn, Hennie Appel check-called for 2,200 against Colin Horgan and then bet the K river for 5,000. Horgan raised to 20,000 and Appel quickly called all-in.

Horgan showed 22 for a turned full house and Appel's J10 for trips tens went down in flames.

Conradie Gets a Shove Through

Level 4 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Three ways to the 865 flop, a trio of players invested 1,500 chips with Wessel Conradie leading the way versus Gilbert Tin Fook and Francis Vanderlinden. It was the latter who then bet the J turn for 600. Conradie jammed for 6,900 and Tin Fook asked for the count, then folded.

Vanderlinden used one time bank extension and folded, too.

"Show one card," Tin Fook demanded and Conradie replied "no, you guys are too clever and will use it against me".
