Two Double Ups and a Knockout
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Keegan Naidoo put his hopes on the J♣9♣ and was up against Stephen Kurland with the Q♥Q♦. The 10♠9♦5♥4♠7♥ board only brought a pair of nines for Naidoo to end his run on Day 1c.
BC Van Rooyen got the short stack in with A♥10♠ and Michael Cupido aimed to score the knockout with the Q♣7♣. However, the 9♥5♣2♠J♠9♣ missed both and ace-high won the pot.
Hanre Retief was then all-in for 45,000 with J♠J♣ and Tanith Rothman looked him up with the inferior 7♠7♣. Neither player connected with the K♦10♣5♦6♠10♥ for Retief to survive as well.
