Marko Nortje opened to 70,000 from under the gun with the A♠5♥ on the feature table and then called the shove of Kevin Boyer for 395,000 from the big blind. Boyer had the K♦10♣ and the Q♥10♦3♥5♦J♣ board secured his double-up.

Dean Hutchison raised it up to 60,000 and the action folded all the way to Alvin Pillay in the big blind, who declared all-in. Hutchison used one time bank extension and then called with a similar stack size.
Dean Hutchison: 8♥8♣
Alvin Pillay: 10♦10♠
"Again," Pillay said referring to him picking up pocket tens and Sean Bloom replied "the fourth time".
The dominated pair of Hutchison found no help on the A♦K♦9♠2♠A♥ board and the stacks were counted. Pillay's 770,000 covered Hutchison's 665,000 to send the Scottish player out in 13th place.
Ariel Mazabow was all-in for his last 90,000 in the cutoff and found a customer in fellow short stack Sean Bloom out of the small blind.
Ariel Mazabow: K♣3♦
Sean Bloom: A♦J♥
The 8♣5♦3♣ flop gave Mazabow a pair but the 2♠ turn and 5♣ river provided no further help.
Kinesh Pather opened to 75,000 with the A♥5♥ and Marko Northe called in the big blind holding the A♣9♥. Both checked the 9♣7♥3♦ flop and Nortje's check-raise from 100,000 to 290,000 was called by Pather.
Nortje then led the 8♦ river for 525,000 and that sent Pather into the tank.
Sean Bloom got the last 130,000 in with the K♣Q♣ and PN looked him up holding the A♠10♣. The 7♠5♦2♥3♣K♦ board saved Bloom on the river.
Soon after that, Dean Hutchison defended out of the blinds against Alvin Pillay and called the shove of Pillay for 290,000 on the 9♥8♣2♥ flop.
Alvin Pillay: 10♦10♠
Dean Hutchison: K♥8♥
The 5♣ turn and Q♦ river awarded the double to Pillay.
Marko Nortje raised to 70,000 from under the gun with the A♦2♥ and was called by Dylan Barnard out of the cutoff holding the K♣Q♣, Kinesh Pather on the button with the A♠9♠ and Keyin Boyer who called from the big blind with 9♣8♥.
It was checked to Pather who bet 125,000 and Nortje was the only caller. That led the duo to the 6♦ turn that was checked through. On the 10♥ river, Nortje check-called a bet and Pather won the pot.
Sachin Naidoo raised to 60,000 and was called only by Sean Bloom in the big blind. They checked to the 10♠9♣8♥3♥J♠ river on which Bloom check-called a bet of 65,000. Naidoo tabled the A♣Q♠ for the straight and knocked Bloom down to fumes.
Dean Hutchison raised to 60,000 on the button and Ariel Mazabow then jammed from the small blind for the Scotsman to call.
Dean Hutchison: A♥Q♦
Ariel Mazabow: A♦2♦
"Ran into it," Mazabow told a friend on the rail. He picked up some outs on the 6♥5♦4♥ flop and 8♣ turn to survive but the J♥ river was a blank. Hutchison doubled for 445,000 to leave Mazabow on a short stack.
