Singh Flops a Set

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Sugen Singh
Sugen Singh

Sugen Singh in the small blind wanted to raise but didn't announce it and thus overcalled an opening raise to 1,000, which brought along five players in total to the 653 flop. Table chip leader Sheldon Grove in the big blind bet 1,000 and Stephen Courtney raised to 2,500, forcing out the other two players.

Singh then reraised to 5,000 and Grove folded, as did Courtney.

Before collecting the pot, Singh wanted the others to guess his hand and eventually revealed the 33 for flopped bottom set.

Fourie Gets Maroun to Fold

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Okkie Fourie
Okkie Fourie

In a preflop raising war, Martin Maroun four-bet to 4,500 and Okkie Fourie then five-bet to 13,200. Maroun went into the tank and eventually folded the AK face-up.

"I can rule out pocket queens, he would flat those," Banks Solomons grinned. The cards of Fourie were never shown as he silently dragged in the pot.

Steenkamp Cracks Ghoorbin's Aces

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Derrick Steenkamp
Derrick Steenkamp

Three ways to the K559 turn, it checked to Vishal Ghoorbin and he bet 4,500. One caller later, Derrick Steenkamp then check-raised to 10,000 and Ghoorbin was the only caller. Steenkamp led the 8 river for 10,000 and Ghoorbin sigh-called to get shown the 65 for flopped trips fives.

"You play so bad," Wesley Blom joked as Ghoorbin smacked his AA on the felt. The hand left Ghoorbin very short and he bowed out right after.

New in the field are Hennie Appel on the second bullet and Minesh Keshav.

Karagounis Takes From Solomons

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Banks Solomons raised to 1,200 and received two callers out of the blinds including Kosta Karagounis. On the JJ3 flop, only Karagounis check-called Solomons' continuation bet of 2,500 before they checked down the J turn as well as the 9 river.

Karagounis revealed the A9 for jacks full of nines to win the pot.

Hellstrom Eliminated by Lala

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Vinaj Lala
Vinaj Lala

Anjan Hellstrom was all-in for 9,600 preflop and Vinaj Lala called from the next seat while a limper got out of the way.

Hellstrom tabled his A10 and sighed a "well done" when he saw the AA of Lala. They bumped fists after the Q76 flop even though Hellstrom was not drawing dead yet. That was the case on the 3 turn to make the 5 river a formality.
