Harold Brooks Eliminated in 20th Place; Imran Bhojani Eliminated in 19th place (ZAR 58,045 each)
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Harold Brooks pushed a short stack from the button and Imran Bhojani did so from the small blind, both of which were called by Rohan Conradie in the big blind.
Harold Brooks: A♣3♥ 
Imran Bhojani: K♥J♥
Rohan Conradie: Q♦Q♥
The 10♠7♣2♠2♣8♥ board kept pocket queens in the lead for both shorter stacks to bust. Brooks and Bhojani receive ZAR 58,045 each and the last 18 players will now balance to the final two tables. Coincidentally, these two casualties have also won an SPT Main Event this year but came up short of a second title in 2024.
