Gavin Sardini raised to 110,000 with the A?Q? first to act and earned four callers: Sugen Singh with the Q?9?, MAJ with the 5?5? in the cutoff, Gareth Kalil on the button with the 4?4? and SM in the big blind with 9?8?.

With 655,000 in the middle, Sardini opted to jam the 9?8?6? flop for 1,135,000 and SM was the only one to look him up with the top two pair.

Sardini picked up more outs with the 6? turn not the 7? river ended his run in ninth place for ZAR107,285.

SM opened to 100,000 from under the gun with K?J? and Gareth Kalil came along from the small blind with the 6?2?, Norman Cherry did so from the big blind with the Q?9?. The Q?10?3? flop saw Kalil check the flush draw and Cherry simply jammed for 870,000.

SM folded to the three times pot shove and Kalil came to the same conclusion.

Danny Dayani opened to 130,000 and then called the shove by MAJ for 470,000 total.

MAJ: A?10? All in
Danny Dayani: A?J?

MAJ was in trouble but instantly found help on the 10?6?4? flop. The K? turn gave Dayani some further outs but the 9? river changed nothing whatsoever.

David Ng raised to 125,000 with the Q?J? in the cutoff but folded when Danny Dayani made it 300,000 to go with the A?Q? one seat over.

Gareth Kalil then limped the K?Q? and SM raised to 210,000 with the A?J?. Gavini Sardini pushed all-in for 860,000 with the A?K? and forced out everyone else.

SM made it 100,000 to go with the A?6? on the button and Gavin Sardini three-bet to 260,000 out of the small blind with 7?6?. The initial raiser took it to the streets and called which led them to the 10?8?4? flop. Sardini chec k-called for 150,000 and checked again the 3? on the turn.

SM bet 310,000 and that forced out Sardini, who dropped below a million.

SM opened the action with a li mp from under the gun and then called the shove of Keegan Pillay for 675,000 in the cutoff.

Keegan Pillay: 6?6? All in
SM: 7?7?

The 5?4?3? flop gave Pillay an open-ended straight draw while SM had a gutshot and blocked some of the straight outs. Nothing changed with the 10? turn and A? river to send start-of-day chip leader Pillay to the rail in 10th place.

There will now be an extended break ahead of the final table.

Pillay Gets Even Shorter

Level 24 : 30,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Keegan Pillay had previously lost a pot on a K?K?10? flop against Jarred Solomon when his 9?7? had very little equity.

In a three-way limped pot, he was in the small blind with the 9?8? and check-called on the A?10?7? flop for 150,000 when Gareth Kalil bet his Q?10? for second pair. The 10? came on the turn and Pillay check-folded to a bet of 500,000.
