Hennie Appel was carefully waiting for a spot to get his short stack into the middle and finally did so out of the big blind with 6♠4♦ on a 9♠6♣4♥ flop for bottom two pair. Steven Radloff in the cutoff had the 7♣7♦ and added more outs with the 5♠ turn. No straight came, but instead the 9♦ river gave Radloff the superior two pair to knock out Appel.
"I know you have a straight but I can't fold," Aidan Jacobs said after he had just scored a double trough Farisani Khosa and traded stack sizes with his opponent. The J♣8♣ of Khosa had indeed flopped a straight on Qx10♦9♥ with J♣8♣ while Jacobs had outs holding the Q♥9♦ for top and bottom pair.
The 9♣ turn locked up the double for Jacobs and Khosa dropped below half the starting stack.
Three ways to the 9♥5♥4♦ flop, Danny Dayani checked and Harold Brooks bet. Ben Geldenhuys then raised to 15,000 and Dayani folded, while Brooks called rather swiftly.
The 8♠ on the turn was checked by both and Geldenhuys then called a bet of 15,000 on the 8♦ river. Brooks tabled A♦9♣ and won the pot, as Geldenhuys' 9♠4♠ was only ahead on the flop and turn but ended up counterfeited.

Steven Radloff check-called a small bet by Gilbert Tin Fook on the K♠9♠4♥ flop while in the small blind and did so again for 2,000 on the A♦ turn. They checked the 6♦ on the river and Tin Fook won the pot with the K♥7♠ for a pair of kings.
In four-way action to the Q♥4♥2♥10♦10♥ river, Gilbert Tin Fook was about to bet and had already grabbed chips to do so. But it was not his turn yet, as pointed out by Farisani Khosa in the small blind who then made it 4,000 to go.
Tin Fook folded, as did Steven Radloff and Konstantinos Karagounis behind them.
"I probably saved you some chips," Khosa said with a grin on the face.
Keenan Pienaar was eliminated during the first few levels of the ZAR 50,000 High Roller and didn't re-enter. Instead, he jumped into Day 1a of the Main Event and ran up a big stack right away.
Towards the end of level three, he then check-raised from under the gun on the Q♣7♠4♣6♠ turn from 10,000 to 24,000 and Peter Khan called. Pienaar bet the 7♣ river for 30,000 and Khan reluctantly called within his thirty second shot clock.
Pienaar tabled 5♠3♣ and won the big pot with his bottom end of the straight. "You must have had kings," he told Khan, who never showed his cards and instead sent them to the muck.
