Nortje and Richards Chop Naidoo
Level 9
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
In four-way action to the 6♦4♠2♦ flop, Keegan Naidoo bet 5,500 and got rid of Alan Jung, while Marko Nortje called on the button and Jehan Richards came along out of the big blind. That led the trio to the 8♣ turn on which Richards checked. Naidoo jammed for 56,900 and Nortje asked for a count before he reluctantly called after using two time banks.
Richards sigh-called with the words "there is so much value" to create the following showdown.
Jehan Richards: 8♦7♥ 
Keegan Naidoo: 10♥10♠
Marko Nortje: 7♣7♦
The river was the 5♣ and that improved Richards as well as Nortje to the eight-high straight. Naidoo lost the main pot and was eliminated in the large side pot by Nortje.
