Jacobus de Nysschen bet the river of a A♣4♦2♦5♦Q♠ board and received a call to show A♦3x for the turned wheel with the nut flush and steel wheel blocker. That won a healthy pot as the local regular boosted his stack in the third level of the day.

Heads-up to the 8♠7♦5♦ flop, Christoper Dean checked and the button bet 2,500 for Dean to call. They checked the 9♠ turn and Dean then bombed the Q♦ river for 11,500.
"Why so much?" his opponent asked and then later mentioned "remember, in the first hand we played I said to trust my instinct. I want to call," he declared but eventually opted to fold the A♦7♣ face-up. Dean didn't show any of his cards and instead collected the pot.

On the tail end of a J♦7♣4♥2♣6♦ board, Sugen Singh and Toran Tate both invested 5,100 chips. Singh showed J♥10♥ but had a kicker problem, as Tate earned the pot with AxJ♠.
That sent Singh's stack to around half of what he started with while several players on this particular table have already chipped up significantly.

Three ways to the Q♣10♣7♦ flop, Mariette Language was the only one to check-call a bet of 1,500 while in the blinds. The duo checked the 7♥ on the turn and Language then bet the Q♥ river for 2,000 when the board paired for a second time. She received no call and claimed the pot without showdown.

There are now up to nine tables in play and the most recent one to open features Rajeev Poonhath, who had re-entered a few minutes ago. He bet a flop of J♦9♥6♦ and won the pot uncontested.
One hand later, Tanith Rothman opened to 700 and Jaco Mouton three-bet to 2,600 two seats over. Rothman folded and the table was shown the A♥J♠ by Mouton.
"I have twenty now, but rather went to spin it up or re-enter," Mouton said after glancing at his stack.

One of the larger pots of the day went to Pieter Terblanche, who won a showdown hand on a board of K♠10♥8♥K♦5♠ board out of the small blind. The local, known as "sexy Piet", tabled the K♥K♣ for quads kings to rake in the pot with a big smirk on the face.

As decent as the opening stages had been for Okkie Fourie, as quick came the crash to half the starting stack. Robert Cowley also lost a chunk of his stack while Richard Barnard took over the early lead.
