Two Knockouts in a Row for Fourie
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
SM was all-in with the A?Q? and ahead against Okkie Fourie with the K?J?. The K?7?6? flop favoured Fourie and so did the 8? turn as well as the K? river.
That brought the field down to the last 15 and the next short stack was all-in soon after in David Ng. Fourie and Darryl Shaff called to check down a queen-high board. Fourie flashed his 10?9? for the flopped straight on Q?J?8? and Ng was gone with the A?6?, Shaff mucked A?6?.
"Good flop," Fourie grinned as he leaped close to the average.
As confirmed by tournament staff a few minutes ago, Day 1b is scheduled to finish with 12 players remaining or upon completion of level 15 - whichever of the two comes first.
