Horgan Takes a Chop; Appel Doubles
Level 27
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Colin Horgan jammed out of the small blind into the big blind of Wessel Conradie, who called all-in with both players showing an ace.
Wessel Conradie: A♥8♥ 
Colin Horgan: A♠6♥
"I take a chop," Horgan said with a grin on the face. The K♠Q♥5♦2♠5♣ board provided just that.
Hennie Appel then jammed for 1,650,000 in the cutoff and Divan Le Roux asked for a count from the big blind, called for more than half of his stack.
Hennie Appel: A♦J♦
Divan Le Roux: 8♠8♦
Appel took the lead and faded a flush draw on the A♠K♣10♠K♠4♣ runout to double off Le Roux.
