Nivel 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

From under the gun, Steven Radloff jammed for the last 17,300 and was called by Roy Bitton in the hijack. It folded to Gilbert Tin Fook in the big blind and he called as well. The two active players checked the K♥10♦8♥ flop before Tin Fook bet the 9♠ turn for 4,000, Bitton called.

Tin Fook then bet the 7♠ river and Bitton folded for the former to show A♠7♥ for a pair of sevens only. Radloff tripled with the A♥J♣ and joked he did so with "Asian Luck" as he had received a fistbump of Rex Hsu preflop.

"Why did you bet for a dead pot?" Bitton asked and Tin Fook replied "I knew I was behind, but if I hit ... ."

Nivel 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a flop of Q♦J♦10♠, Gilbert Tin Fook got the larger stack in against Roy Bitton, who he had verbally tangled with on multiple occassions throughout the last hour. Bitton was behind with 9♦7♦ but had outs against Tin Fook's K♥J♥ for mittle pair and the broadway draw.

The 7♠ turn gave Bitton two more outs and he got there with the 10♦ river.

"What happened?" Tin Fook asked and another player pointed out "he won with a flush".

Nivel 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Greg Tucker soared to the lead on table eight while former big stack Keenan Pienaar was in trouble below the starting stack. It limped two ways to Stefan Van Huyssteen on the button and he raised to 5,000. Pienaar in the big blind tossed in a single chip for the call and one of the limpers also called in Dirk Steenkamp, who said "be nice to me" towards the dealer.

The 10♦3♦3♠ flop was checked to Van Huyssteen, who bet 7,500. Only Pienaar called and they checked the K♦ on the turn. Pienaar jammed the Q♣ river for 27,300 and Van Huyssteen instantly called to show his A♥Q♠. That was, however, no good, as Pienaar had flopped trips and rivered a full house with the Q♥3♥.

Nivel 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The always talkative Gilbert Tin Fook struck once again and sent John Yatrakos to the rail in a preflop contest. The A♦8♦ of Yatrakos had an uphill battle versus K♣K♦ and failed to catch help on the J♣4♥2♥3♠7♦ runout. With that pot, Tin Fook retained the chip lead on the table ahead of Benjamin Lingenfelder Jr.

Nivel 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ivan Jarosz raised to 3,000 and picked up one caller on the button. Jonathan Hoal then jammed for 32,600 in the small blind and it folded back to Jarosz, who opted to call and was the only one to do so.

Jonathan Hoal: A♥8♦ All in
Ivan Jarosz: 9♣9♦

"Good luck," Hoal said but he was the one needing to improve. "You too," Jarosz replied.

The J♥5♥3♠10♦8♠ board failed to improve Hoal and Jarosz earned the knockout.

Nivel 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jaryd Jardien, Ahmed Karrim and Jarred Solom all entered Day 1a and that's bad news in terms of their chances to win the ZAR High Roller, as they are out from there. Solomon was involved in a big pot against Ben Geldenhuys right now when he jammed the Q♠4♦2♣A♠ turn into a bet worth 11,000.

Geldenhuys asked for a count but folded before the dealer was done.

Raja Vempati once more got his short stack in with a pocket pair and his 9♣9♠ was ahead versus 6♦6♠. The A♥Q♣Q♦A♣2♣ runout was no threat and he remained in contention.
