Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Marko Nortje check-raised the Q♣4♣4♦ flop from 8,500 to 26,000 and Jehan Richards was the only caller. Nortje led the A♣ turn for 19,000 to get called and jammed the 9♠ river with the covering stack.

Richards had around 39,000 behind and used two time banks, during which he tried to get any information from Nortje via table chat. Nortje stared at the board only and was eventually called to table the K♣3♣ for the flush.

"Nice hand," Richards said and exposed his A♠Q♠ before heading to the rail.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Alan Jung was all-in for 21,800 and a French player got involved with more chips, both looked up by Eben Lottering as the table chip leader.

Jung's Q♦Q♣ and Lottering's Q♥Q♠ were flipping against A♠K♥ and they held up on a board of 10♦8♣5♣7♦J♦ to earn both some profit, more for Lottering though.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In a preflop all-in, Keegan Naidoo called off for his last 17,500 as last player to act when Ariel Mazabow and Alexandre Blanc already had their stacks into the middle of the table.

Keegan Naidoo: 10♣8♣ All in
Alexandre Blanc: 10♦10♥ All in
Ariel Mazabow: A♠K♠

Naidoo had continued his massage after his previous elimination and predicted three clubs on the flop. That was almost the case on A♥Q♣9♣ as he picked up a gutshot straight flush draw. The 7♠ turn increased his outs and he got there with the 7♣ river to triple up, while Blanc bowed out in the side pot.

Ariel Mazabow	144,000 24,000	24,000
