Nearly half-way through the Sunbet Poker Tour stop at the GrandWest Casino by Sun International in Cape Town, the High Rollers have showcased their talents at the tables in the most expensive tournament on the schedule. The ZAR 75,000 (~ USD 4,200) Super High Roller attracted a field of 54 entries during the registration period and two tournament days have cut down the field to 18 survivors.
The action will resume at 2 p.m. local time with level 14 and blinds of 20,000-40,000 / big blind ante of 20,000. With more than 70 big blinds for the chip leaders, it may be a long day at the tables to determine a winner. Leading the way thus far is Ricky Toker with 2,875,000 in chips followed closely by Rudolf Fourie (2,805,000) and Ben Cade (2,680,000).

Several other very well known names of the South African poker community are still in the mix with 18 players remaining and they are all in contention for the ZAR 3,402,000 prize pool (approximately USD 197,316), which crushed the ZAR 1 Million guarantee. Only the top seven spots will get paid as follows:
| Rank | Winner | Country | Prize (in ZAR) | Prize (in USD) |
|---|
| 1 | | | 1,250,000 | $72,500 |
| 2 | | | 750,000 | $43,500 |
| 3 | | | 450,000 | $26,100 |
| 4 | | | 325,000 | $18,850 |
| 5 | | | 260,000 | $15,080 |
| 6 | | | 205,000 | $11,890 |
| 7 | | | 162,000 | $9,396 |
| | | Prize Pool | 3,402,000 | $197,316 |
The final day will run alongside the penultimate flight of The Hendon Mob Championship Cape Town Million and many of those bowing out may very well jump into the action for a fraction of their previous buy-in thereafter.
