Matthew Whitelaw Eliminated in 13th Place (ZAR 81,855)
Level 24
: Blinds 30,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Matthew Whitelaw arrived on the outer table with a shorter stack and proceeded to move all-in three times. He then took on Divan Le Roux and made a move by shoving the 8♠5♠5♦ flop out of the blinds. Le Roux called and was ahead.
Matthew Whitelaw: J♦10♥ 
Divan Le Roux: K♠J♦
The 10♠ turn improved Le Roux to a flush and Whitelaw now needed a five or ten to avoid elimination. Instead, the 2♠ river brought another spade and Whitelaw exited in 13th place for ZAR 81,855.
"Why did you do that?" a befuddled Nic Ioannoy asked and Whitelaw replied "I wanted to steal".
