Nortje Eliminated for Now
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Marko Nortje jammed the A♥K♣2♦8♦ turn against his former nemesis Jehan Richards and the latter eventually called with the A♣6♦ for top pair. Nortje only had the J♣10♣ for a gutshot and missed the 10♥ river with an inferior pair.
Rajeev Poonhath was eliminated by Nic Ioannoy and instantly re-entered into the same seat. Early chip leader David Ng lost some chips but still has nearly two starting stacks.
Day 1b has reached a stage where the chips are flying and the field is up to 58 entries with 42 players remaining.
