Marko Nortje Eliminated in 15th Place (ZAR75,315)
Over on the outer table, Marko Nortje raised the button and Keegan Pillay called from the big blind. The hand was rather innocent preflop and led to the 9♣7♠6♠ flop, on which Pillay announced all-in for multiple times the pot.
Nortje had more than 1.1 million chips behind (nearly 40 big blinds) and asked for a count. While the dealer was busy trying to gather an exact count on the massive shove, Nortje had leaped out of his chair and then declared call, signalling his rail to the massive showdown.
Marko Nortje: 10♣10♦ 
Keegan Pillay: A♠10♠
The Q♣ turn bricked but the A♣ on the river left Nortje absolutely flabbergasted, while Pillay quickly said "I cover".
When the massive pot was shipped to Pillay, he then said the following.
"I am never folding, so I might as well shove it".
