The cards of Nico Wiechers were all but rushed away as Ax9x for turned two pair were still exposed on a board of 9♠5♦2♦A♣7♠. However, they ended up second-best as Russel Wheatley held 5♠5♣ for a flopped set of fives to score the knockout.

On a heads-up turn of 9♦7♦6♠Q♠, Warren Longhow checked from under the gun and Cornelis Huisman bet 3,000 on the button. Longhow then raised to 6,000 and Huisman reluctantly called.
The 3♥ fell on the river and Longhow's bet of 10,000 forced out a seemingly frustrated Huisman.
On a flop of A♦9♦4♦, Howard Lipman in the big blind check-called for the minimum against Yoni Lipshitz and then bet the 5♦ turn for 2,600, which Lipshitz called.
Lipman also bet the 8♣ river for 3,000 but instantly folded when Lipshitz raised it up to 14,700.
On a four-card diamond board, Kade Ollewagen bet the pot for 8,000 and his opponent mucked the 9♦7♦ for what had been a flopped flush on K♦J♦5♦. "Show the bluff," another player at the table demanded but Ollewagen flashed the A♦J♣ for the ace-high flush before scooping in the pot.
Level: 4
Blinds: 300/500
Ante: 500
Three ways to the Q♠J♥10♥J♣ turn, Marriette Language bet 4,000. Josh Liebenthal raised to 10,000 and Hardus Swanepoel called while Language opted to fold. The K♥ fell on the river and Swanepoel faced the shove by Liebenthal for the 12,400 he had behind.
Three time banks were used by Swanepoel before he called all-in and Liebenthal instantly announced quads, rolling over the J♦J♠. Swanepoel flashed his A♥K♣ and headed to the rail.
On a flop of 8♠6♣3♥, Gideon Scheepers made it 1,600 to go and table chip leader Theuns Prinsloo asked him how many chips he had behind before raising to 3,600. Scheepers quickly called before both checked down the 2♦ turn as well as the 4♠ on the river.
Scheepers turned over his A♠J♦ but Prinsloo won the pot with the 10♥8♣.
Following a three-bet to 2,700 and a call, Marvin Torres in the small blind then squeezed to 13,000. Only one opponent called and they headed to the K♦8♠5♦ flop. Torres made it 3,000 to go and that was enough to win the pot uncontested.
With some 13,000 in the middle leading to the K♠7♠7♦2♦5♦ river, Wouter Van Der Merwe checked on the button. His opponent bet 5,000 and Van Der Merwe called to instantly hear a "good call" by his opponent, who flashed the 10♠2♠ for sevens and deuces with a missed flush draw.
The pot was sent to Van Der Merwe, who held the superior two pair with K♥10♣.
