The players awaken
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.
