Habib Eliminated by Nortje in Big Pot
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♣ 
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.
