Appel Departs After Clash With Pillay
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Hennie Appel clashed with Keegan Pillay when they got it in after the K?K?4?J? turn with both players holding near identical stacks.
Appel's K?10? was pipped by a notch as Pillay held the K?Q?. The river was the 2? and both stacks were counted. Pillay doubled for 210,000 and Appel had 30,000 left behind, which he committed blind the next hand.
Marko Nortje raised to 40,000 and folded when Sugen Singh pushed all-in.
Hennie Appel: 10?2? 
Sugen Singh: K?K?
The Q?10?8?7?J? board sent Appel to the rail in 28th place and there will now be a redraw of the final three tables.
