Zakhem Zapped
Hand 71: Eben raises to 50k and is called by Ilija. Ilija bets out after a rag flop and takes the win.
Hand 72: Peter gets a walk in the BB
Hand 73: Nic looking a bit bleak from his earlier defeat desperately shoves with Kc 2s and is called by Eben with A J.
Flop:Q c 3c 7c – hope for Nic Zakhem with a flush draw
Turn:Qx
River:5x
Nic has very few chips left.
Hand 74: Once again Nic and Eben tangle and this time the decimated Zakhem is looking good for a double up and a life line with his A A to Eben’s 4 4. The money goes in and…
Flop:3 5 K – Nic leading by miles
Turn:4 – Eben takes a massive lead turning the tables.
River:8
Eben wins the pot with a 2-outer and Nicolas Zakhem, past champion, finishes in 5th position and wins R 275 000
