Solomon Takes From Mouton

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Three ways to the 844 flop, the action checked to Jaco Mouton and he bet 3,200. Only Simon Solomon called while Gareth Duncan folded. They checked down the 6 turn and Mouton checked behind the J river with the words "I don't think I can get you to fold sevens," showing his AK.

Solomon had a pocket pair in 99 and raked in the pot. One table over, early chip leader Tanith Rothman lost a big pot to Stephen Kurland and dropped below the starting stack again.

Kurland Chops With Taliwanth

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Cliton Taliwanth check-called a bet worth 1,500 by Stephen Kurland on the Q109 flop before they checked down the 3 turn and A river. Kurland tabled his K5 for a missed straight and flush draw. Taliwanth glanced at his cards and then rolled over the K5, which chopped the pot as neither kicker played.

Le Roux Among the Early Casualties

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Clive Kikia
Clive Kikia

Only a handful of players have been eliminated so far and among them is also JP Le Roux. He was left short and then missed the queen-high board with the J9 as Clive Kikia scooped up the remainder of his stack with the KQ, having paired the queen on the river.

New on the same table are Alexandre Blanc and Gareth Duncan.

Super High Rollers To Determine Champion

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Ricky Toker
Ricky Toker

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:

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.

"Sorry Chuck, unlucky runout," Wesley Blom said and Charles "Chuck" Levin replied "that seven killed me.

On a board of J9867, Levin had flopped top set with the JJ but the 1010 of Blom rivered the straight for the full double with 17,400 of it coming on the river.
