Kayalsum Runs Into Aces

Christian Zetzsche

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Robin Kayalsum jammed a stack of around 200,000 with the A♦6♦ only to find himself in dire shape, as AB had the A♣A♥ two seats over. There was no help on the Q♦J♥9♠2♠7♣ board and Kayalsum had to settle for 19th place after two previous eliminations on the live stream table.

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

Daniel Habib raised to 50,000 from under the gun and Marko Nortje called on the button. On the 8♦5♣2♣ flop, Habib bet 150,000 and Nortje moved all-in for an effective 670,000 as that's what Habib had behind. Habib called without much hesitation to create a massive pot.

Daniel Habib: 10♣9♣ All in
Marko Nortje: J♦J♣

The J♠ on the turn gave Nortje the top set while Habib now had a few additional outs thanks to the open-ended straight draw. However, nothing changed on the 4♥ river and that sent Habib out in 20th place.

Vincent Albert defended out of the big blind and check-called a bet worth 70,000 by Dylan Barnard on the Q♦9♠4♣K♦ turn. He then checked the 4♥ on the river and Barnard jammed in his superior stack to force a fold of the French player.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Daniel Scott pushed for 245,000 on the button and Hennie Appel called after a few seconds in the big blind to leave Scott very frustrated in the following showdown.

Daniel Scott: A♣8♦ All in
Hennie Appel: A♥Q♥

The Q♠9♣6♥Q♣3♦ board left Scott crushed by the turn and he exited in 21st place.

Kinesh Pather jammed the small blind with a shorter stack only to get quickly called by Daniel Scott in the big blind.

Cliton Taliwanth: A♥K♠ All in
Yoni Lipshitz: 10♥10♠

No ace or king came on the 6♥5♠5♥8♥Q♠ board and that spelled the end for Taliwanth in 22nd place.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

While the average stack is at around 23 big blinds and several short stacks are clinging to their last fumes, there hasn't been any action on the outer tables. Most notably, Jason De Villiers has been missing since the break but has a very healthy stack at his disposal while attending a meeting nearby.

Over on the live stream feature table, Jarrod Page jammed for 190,000 with the A♥9♥ in the hijack. Hennie Appel let go of the 8♥8♣ in the small blind but Eben Lottering quickly called with the Q♦Q♣ in the big blind.

The A♠Q♥9♦8♠5♠ board gave Page two pair but Lottering nailed a set to eliminate Page in 23rd place.

Barnard Sends Frick Packing

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Rudy Frick never got much going today and was down to around five and a half big blinds during the first break. Those went in preflop and he was looked up by Dylan Barnard in the small blind.

Rudy Frick: K♣J♥ All in
Dylan Barnard: 10♦10♣

The 9♦8♦4♦ flop left Frick in worse shape as Barnard had the diamond draw op top, taking away some of his outs. No help came on the 2♥ turn and the 6♦ river only improved Barnard to a flush.
