Nortje Eliminated for Now
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Marko Nortje jammed the A?K?2?8? turn against his former nemesis Jehan Richards and the latter eventually called with the A?6? for top pair. Nortje only had the J?10? for a gutshot and missed the 10? river with an inferior pair.
Rajeev Poonhath was eliminated by Nic Ioannoy and instantly re-entered into the same seat. Early chip leader David Ng lost some chips but still has nearly two starting stacks.
Day 1b has reached a stage where the chips are flying and the field is up to 58 entries with 42 players remaining.
