A Tournament of Records

Aug.22, 2009

The 18^th All Africa Poker Tournament has been won by Wessel Jacobs. A devoted family man and deserving champion who through the whole event kept his cool. He played a solid game and persevered when the cards did not fall for him and had the patience to wait for his winners.

The tournament will also be remembered for the longest final table – a sure sign that quality players plied their trade with skill.

Another record was that we had two ladies at the final table! An extraordinary achievement considering the very small proportion of female poker players.

Melanie Banfield once again proved her pedigree by being the only lady to make the final table twice and also equaling Martie Faber’s record of finishing third.

Thank you to the whole All Africa Poker Team, including MC Productions film crew for yet another highly successful tournament and world class production.

The next tournament is in November. Catch you on the flop-side!

Wessel Jacobs is the new Champion

Aug.22, 2009

Hand 180: Joe completes but Wessel raises again. Joe makes the call and we see a flop.

Flop: 5d 7s 6s – Joe immediately moves all-in and Wessel calls instantly

Wessel has A 7 for top pair top kicker and Joe 10s Js for a flush draw

Turn: 5c – Wessel was pleading with pacman (his card protector) to hold up

River: Kd

It’s all over! Joe could not complete his flush or hit any of his cards and is eliminated in second place winning R600,000.

Wessel Jacobs is the new All Africa Poker Champion and wins R 1,000,000.

Well done Wessel! A well-deserved victory.
