Mariska Du Toit ended up all-in with the K♠K♦ and was up against Sugen Singh with the A♣K♥. The K♣J♣6♦ flop gave Du Toit a strong lead and she avoided running cards with the 4♦ turn and 2♦ river securing her double-up. It was worth 27,500 and that left Singh on fumes.

Jack McFadyen had previously lost most of his chips with ace-queen against pocket fours when a four and queen appeared on the board. His last few blinds then vanished when he picked up a monster in A♠A♦. The rockets were up against the Q♠Q♦ of a table big stack and the river brought the Q♥ to end his first bullet.
McFadyen bought back in and the same applied for Kyle Krishnan as well. Krishnan jammed the J♥10♠3♥4♥ turn for around 17,000 with the 9♥7♥ and was called by William Henderson, who had 10♣10♥ for a set of tens. The board didn't pair up, but the 5♥ river gave Henderson the superior flush.

Sugen Singh pointed out that he had a shorter stack but was still in the tournament, then recalled a previous all-in showdown in which he four-bet jammed ace-king and was called by Stephen Courtney called all-in with ace-queen to spike a queen for the double.
Singh then raised preflop to earn two callers including Eben Lottering. The latter check-called the K♦Q♠6♥7♦ turn for 1,600 and they checked the 9♥ river. "I have a six, does that win?" Lottering asked and Singh replied "I want to see both of your cards".
Lottering tabled the 10♥6♣ and Singh mucked.

With the turn showing A♣A♥5♠2♣, Hans van der Hulst pushed all-in for a stack of around 22,000 and was instantly called by Marko Nortje, who flipped over his A♦5♦ for flopped aces full of fives. Van der Hulst exposed his K♦J♦ and left the table somewhat confused, already packing up his belongings even before the 4♥ river completed the board.
Stephen Kurland also lost his stack once again as the second bullet for this flight was not crowned by success.
