Three-Handed Deal Concludes The Event
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
During the break, the final three players once again discussed a deal and this time came to an agreement. Sean Bloom as the run-away chip leader claimed the trophy and top prize of ZAR 350,000 while Alvin Pillay and Marko Nortje received a small boost compared to the regular payouts.
No further hand was played and Bloom took the winner pictures with K♦J♦ as the winning hand. These exact holdings won a bigger pot off Nortje who fired three barrels into Bloom's nut flush draw that paired up the king on the river. Below are the deal numbers.
| Rank | Winner | Country | Prize (in ZAR) | Prize (in USD) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sean Bloom | South Africa | 350,000 | $20,300 |
| 2 | Alvin Pillay | South Africa | 305,000 | $17,690 |
| 3 | Marko Nortje | South Africa | 285,000 | $16,530 |
