Stephen Courtney made it 130,000 to go with the A♣Q♦ on the button and Harold Brooks simply pushed all-in K♠J♥ to apply maximum pressure and win the pot uncontested.
Keenan Pienaar opened to 115,000 in the hijack with the A♠9♠ and Sean Bloom came along in the big blind with the 7♥5♠. The J♥6♣3♦ flop was checked by Bloom and Pienaar bet 65,000 for Bloom to call.
Both checked the A♥ on the turn and Bloom jammed for 375,000 effective on the J♦ river after he missed his gutshot straight draw. Pienaar used two time bank extensions before sigh-folding.
Sean Bloom opened the action with a raise to 105,000 with A♦10♠ in an early position and Taariq Jaftha moved all-in for 535,000. Harold Brooks on the button reraised big and Bloom instantly folded.
Taariq Jaftha: 8♠8♣
Harold Brooks: Q♥Q♣
The Q♠7♠3♥ flop further improved Brooks to top set and Jaftha needed running spades or eights to stay in contention. It was all over on the A♥ turn to make the 8♦ river bittersweet. Jaftha has become the first casualty of the final table in ninth place for ZAR77,600 ($4,268)
Greg Tucker made it 105,000 to go with the A♠J♠ and KM three-bet to 225,000 in the next seat with K♠K♥. Sean Bloom in the cutoff folded the 10♠10♥ and Tucker also sent his cards into the muck.
Max Deveson made it 100,000 to go with the J♣J♦ and Keenan Pienaar three-bet to 275,000 from two seats over in middle position with the 10♠10♦. It folded all the way to Taariq Jaftha in the big blind and he carefully counted his remaining stack holding the J♥9♠ before sending them into the muck.
Deveson glanced at the tournament info clock and pushed all-in and Pienaar sighed visibly. After using two time banks, Pienaar folded.
Nível: 24
Blinds: 25,000/50,000
Ante: 50,000
Stephen Courtney raised to 85,000 with the A♦5♦ and Max Deveson called in the next seat with the A♣Q♣. Greg Tucker squeezed to 585,000 for most of his shorter stack in the cutoff and forced out everyone behind until Deveson. The Brit moved all-in and Tucket called for 780,000.
Both suited ace-queen chopped on the 10♦9♠8♠7♦7♣ runout.
Max Deveson opened to 80,000 with the 4♦4♣ and Harold Brooks called in the next seat with the Q♣8♣. On the K♠3♣2♣ flop, Deveson bet 60,000 for Brooks to flat-call with his flush draw. The 7♣ turn was checked and the 5♥ fell on the river. Deveson checked and Brooks bet 150,000
Soon after that, Keenan Pienaar raised to 85,000 with J♠3♠ and then folded when Greg Tucker three-bet to 425,000 on the button with the 8♥8♦.
