Stephen Courtney Eliminated in 13th Place (ZAR75,315)
Level 22
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Stephen Courtney raised to 80,000 from an early position and SM three-bet in the cutoff to 210,000. Gavin Sardini folded the 4?4? thereafter, as did Gareth Kalil with the A?Q? and a shorter stack behind.
It folded back to Courtney, who moved all-in for 845,000. SM instantly called and the cards were revealed.
Stephen Courtney: 7?7? 
SM: K?K?
The dominated pair found no escape on the J?9?6?8?3? runout and the stacks were counted. SM had 900,000 and covered Courtney to reduce the field to the last 12 contenders.
