Big Clashes in Quick Succession
Mustapha Kanit scored a big double when his 
out of the small blind held against Artur Martirosian's

turn with Martirosian holding a big draw. However, the 
river was not enough.
Marius Gierse then clashed with Jean-Pierre "Kunkuwap" Van Der Spuy to create one of the biggest pots so far.

board gave the South African a set of tens and Gierse dropped below the starting stack.
