Du Plessis Scores a Big Knockout
Level 3
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
With the turn showing K♥9♠3♥4♣, a player from Tanzania bet 15,000 and El-Juan Du Plessis then moved all-in. The other player had around 25,000 behind and eventually sighed, said "okay" and moved forward some chips for the call.
Du Plessis tabled his K♦K♣ for top set and had the elimination locked up, as his opponent only had 9♣3♣. The river brought the 9♥ and the six-figure pot was shipped to Du Plessis.
"I should not have been in the hand," the player from Tanzania remarked.
Du Plessis joined the biggest stacks with Cassiem Du Toit on the same table also right there.
