Gareth Kalil was all-in before the flop for a short stack of 14,300. He was looked up by Nick Sissou, who also revealed the superior hand in showdown on top of his superior stack size.
Gareth Kalil: Q♥10♥
Nick Sissou: A♦10♦
The K♣K♥4♦A♣J♣ runout provided broadway for Kalil and he escaped from elimination.
In a multi-way limped pot, Rudolf Fourie ended up all-in and at risk for around 18,000 on the 9♦5♦3♥ flop out of the small blind. He was looked up only by Joe Rahme in the big blind.
Rudolf Fourie: K♣9♠
Joe Rahme: 5♥3♦
The bottom two pair remained ahead all the way on the A♣ turn and 4♠ river, sending Fourie to the rail. Also no longer in contention is High Roller finalist Ronit Chamani, who departed from one seat over.
Level: 6
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
Roy Bitton soared to a big stack over on table nine and that left some empty chairs to be filled. One of them was taken by Costa Sissou, who was seated on the button of his dad Peter Sissou. His brother is also in the field as well as Nick Sissou can be found over on table four.
Muzey Gothey bet the K♦7♠3♣Q♥ turn for 7,500 to earn a call from Bradley Moore. He then jammed the 9♥ on the river and Moore instantly called.
Gothey revealed the K♣9♣ for rivered kings and nines, but Moore had turned superior two pair with K♥Q♣ already. The double of Moore was for 29,100 and that sent Gothey back below the starting stack.
A large pot of around 55,000 was brewing to the 10♦9♦5♦3♣J♥ river on which Stephen Courtney pushed all-in from the big blind. Brad Kibel had around 20,000 behind on the button and went into the tank, using two time bank extensions while talking through possible hand combinations.
Ultimately, Kibel called and was shown the A♦6♦ for the nut flush by Courtney. He tossed his 10♠10♣ in disgust to the muck before heading out of the tournament area.
Joining the action on a flop of A♣Q♠7♣, Okkie Fourie checked in the cutoff. Samuel Tebege bet 1,700 on the button and Fourie came along. That led them to the A♠ turn on which Fourie checked again. Tebege bet 3,400 and Fourie used his entire 25-second shot clock before making the call.
Both ended up checking down the 9♥ river and Fourie revealed 10♠10♣. Tebege had that beat with the K♥Q♦ for the superior two pair.
