Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Franco Da Matta jammed out of the small blind for around 75,000 with the K♠4♥. Marko Nortje in the big blind glanced at his cards and then called with the K♥5♥, declaring "chop it up".

There was no chop however, as the Q♥5♠2♠7♠5♣ board gave Nortje trips fivesd.

Tanith Rothman was then all-in with a short stack on A♦8♦ and Ryan Brauer had her dominated with the A♠Q♦. The 7♠2♠2♣9♦7♦ and the kicker didn't play.

With two recent eliminations on the feature table, the field was brought down to the last 33 hopefuls.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Marko Nortje jammed the small blind with the A♦2♠ and was called by Mark Wright in the big blind with the Q♦Q♠. The K♠10♥4♠5♠8♦ board kept Wright in contention.

Rowan Russon then jammed a short stack with the A♣2♠ and Nortje came along on the button with the Q♥9♥. Daniel Brauer in the big blind went with the K♠J♥ to flop top pair on J♠10♥8♦, yet was drawing very thin already. The Q♠ turn opened some outs but the 4♥ river was a brick to send two players out.

Mark Wright	315,000 135,000	135,000

Van Huyssteen and October Bow Out in Cruel Fashion

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Stefan Van Huyssteen and Caleb October were all-in and at risk against Ryan Brauer, who needed some run-good to knock out two opponents.

Caleb October: A♣2♣ All in
Stefan Van Huyssteen: Q♣Q♥ All in
Ryan Brauer: 2♦2♥

The K♦Q♦5♣ flop gave Van Huyssteen a set of queens and Brauer needed running diamonds to get there, while October had some options with running clubs or a possible straight. The 8♦ turn and 4♦ river indeed provided the improbable four-card flush for Brauer to reduce the field further in cruel fashion.

Prenesh Naidoo	550,000 284,000	284,000
Ryan Brauer	430,000 122,000	122,000

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jason De Villiers got his short stack in from the cutoff with the 2♦2♠ and was called by Rudy Frick with the A♦9♥ in the big blind. The J♥7♠2♥7♥5♦ runout gave De Villiers deuces full of sevens to stay alive.
