Jay starts with a bang
Jay Sookoo found himself looking bleak when his 6 6 was insta-called by Shaun Muskat with A A. In a reversal of fortunes from Marlene Lingerfelder’s similar scenario however, Sookoo flopped gold in the form of the last two sixes! He doubled up.
Rudolph Fourie falls at the hands of Eugene du Plessis who seems to be on quite a roll. Eugene has come close on a number of accasions but has never managed to win this event. Rudolph Fourie heads home in 75th position.
Conrad Coetzer just got eliminated by Neil Andrews! All the money went in after the flop when both players hit top pair but Conrad was outkicking Neil with his Ace and also had a flush draw. Neil rivered the two-outer he needed and survives with a growing chip stack. We will not have Conrad’s antics at this final table – he heads out in 74th place.
