Reilly’s quest derailed

Nov.20, 2009

Stewart Reilly managed to get all of his chips into the middle with a solid Q Q. Kenneth Heyns was delighted when he made the call with A A. No help for Stewart and there will be no Reilly on this final table. 49th position.

Mitchell Anthony tried to get Dermot Sweeney off of his hand on a K Q K board. Anthony had 8 8 and Dermot J Q. Dermot eventually made a very good call and his two pairs held up to eliminate Mitchell Anthony in 48th spot.

Ace Ten in the mix

Nov.20, 2009

JP Giraud made his move with A 9 and probably the only person he did not want a call from was Mark Lifman. Sadly for Giraud Lifman showed A 10 and the hand held up. Giraud out in 52nd spot.

Ilja Martinovic is mounting his attack. He doubled through with A Q against Michael Karaolis with A 10. Karaolis eliminated in 51st place.

Theodarin Poovalingam was the next victim of Mark Lifman and it seems that Lifman’s hands are always just as good as they need to be. Theo showed A 10 and Lifman showed… A J. The turn offered a few split pot options but none materialised and Lifman claims the scalp of Theodarin Poovalingam in 50th place.

Pather, Kriel and Andrews

Nov.20, 2009

Kinesh Pather’s good form has run out. He moved all-in with A Q and was happy to get called Nic Zakhem with KQ. After the flop he was not excited however because the King appeared. Zakhem went on to convert his hand into a full house and knock out Pather in 55th place.

Chris Kriel, freshly motivated by his win over Lingenfelder found himself in the pound seat with a flopped two pair with his A J. Peter Nilson was happy to come along for the ride and even more so when he made a better two pair with A K on the river! Chris Kriel is out in 54th place.

The run of Neil Andrews has ended. In a forced all-in with 9 3 he encountered the seemingly unstoppable Lifman to get knocked out in 53rd position.

Bennie and Bernard busted

Nov.20, 2009

Evro Psiloyenis was all-in for his tournament life with a flush draw after the flop. He was called by Conrad Coetzer who had top pair of tens with a King kicker. The turn was just what the doctor ordered in the form of a King of hearts giving Evro the flush and Conrad the redraw with two pairs. The river was another King! Conrad overtakes Evro with a full house, wins the hand and eliminates Evro in 58th position.

Bennie Lingenfelder had three losses in a row! In the first hand he made the nut flash and was outdrawn by Russel Joselowsky with 6 6 to hit a one-outer straight flush!
In the second hand he had over cards to Chris Kriel’s 6 6. Kriel made a full house leaving Bennie on life support and hating the Dadic.
In his last hand he went all-in blind under the gun and was called by Nick Sissou and Bernard Len who was also all-in. Bennie showed 7 7 and was ahead of the A 6 of Sissou and the K Q of Len. The flop was a blank although it did give some additional outs to Sissou, the turn a disappointment because it paired Len’s Queen and the river a disaster (depending on perspective) because the Ace made Sissou the winner knocking out the hapless Bennie Lingenfelder in 57th and Bernard Len in 56th.

The pressure mounts

Nov.20, 2009

Wessel Jacobs has just doubled-up Derek Banister in a pot worth over 80k.

Daniel Macdonald has just been eliminated by Deon Minnaar. His A 4, as mediocre as it was to start, palled when it saw two Cowboys staring back. Macdonald has been run out of the poker room in 59th position.

The blinds are up.

Busted by twos

Nov.20, 2009

MJ Peters made his all-in move with J K suited from the big blind with his last few thousand chips. He was called by Huwail Sun on the button and Robbie Sham completed from the small blind.
The community cards were 10-high and there was a little betting by Sham on the flop. Showdown had Sham with a busted straight draw, MJ with the best cards although he had also not connected, and Sun had hit a two with his J 2! MJ Peters leaves in disgusted 60th place at having lost to an unlikely pair of twos.

Nov.20, 2009

Karin Hasseriis followed Doche out the door when she was forced to play the computer hand and found herself dominated by Gareth Wobbe’s A 7. 61st place for Karin.

Six-high no good

Nov.20, 2009

Oliver Berman, clearly having watched Ryan Brauer play six-high hands, made his all-in move with 6 3 suited. Hugh van der Westhuizen was the happy recipient of Berman’s last chips with his A A. Berman busts out in 64th place.

Jaime Vilela and his A J found themselves outkicked by the A K of Dermot Sweeney. Jaime goes home in 63rd place.

The players awaken

Nov.20, 2009

Russel Von Ruben was looking good with K K to JP Giraud’s A 8 suited in hearts. The flop was scary with two hearts and the turn was disastrous when the third heart clinched the hand for Giraud. Von Ruben leaves with a hearty slap on the table in 67th position.

Francois Cillie was starting to look bleak and saw his pocket Jacks as a lifeline. Unfortunately for him the only caller was Mark Lifman with A K. Lifman of course hit and even turned his hand into a full house. 66th place for Francois Cillie.

Darren Winterstein made his all-in move with A 7 suited. He was called by Durant Botha with K Q. Botha connected and WInterstein goes to the rail. 65th spot.
