Opening Two Flights Generate 150 Entries
The second edition of The Hendon Mob Championship Cape Town Million at the GrandWest Casino by Sun International features a total of four starting days for the ZAR 8,000 (~ USD 450) buy-in and Day 1a generated 108 players of which 14 advanced. In the evening heat, another 42 entries were added to bring the overall tally to 150 entries. From those, 20 players secured their min-cash and bagged up chips with the following all making it through.
Those unhappy with their stack size so far can play in the remaining two flights as well, carrying over the larger stack into the final day. Leading the way so far is Robin Kayalsum with 400,000 in chips while Jason Zulch topped Day 1b with a stack of 325,000. Notables to advance were Ryan Brauer, Hennie Appel, Sean Bloom, Jedd Kossew as well as Stefan Van Huyssteen.
