Nortje Among the Next Casualties
Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Brett Toker raised to 8,000 and Gideon Scheepers called in the small blind. Marko Nortje then jammed for 71,000 in the big blind and Toker asked for an exact count before folding, while Scheepers called.
Marko Nortje: 7♥7♣
Gideon Scheepers: 8♥8♠
The Mystery Bounty Event winner was pipped by one notch and was drawing dead on the K♥Q♥4♣8♦ turn to make the 5♠ river a formality. El-Juan Du Plessiers followed suit shortly after as the next player hit the rail in quick succession.
