Joey Weissman Leads Final Nine in Super High Roller

A trio of American poker pros has made the trip to South Africa and two of them reached the final table in the ZAR 75,000 Super High Roller ($4,130) out of a field of 47 entries. After finishing Day 1 with half a starting stack, Joey Weissman spun it up to the chip lead for the last nine players and he is joined by Dylan Wilkerson, while Maxwell Young busted without anything to show for.

Several notables are still in contention such as the best-placed South African in the 2024 WSOP Main Event Giovanni Zanette, Rayhaan Adam, Remy Murcia, Howard Lipman and defending The Hendon Mob Championship Cape Town winner Rachid Amamou.

Seat	Player	Country	Chip Count	Big Blinds
1	Frank Chilchik	South Africa	1,375,000	28
2	Panayiotis Giannakopoulos	Tanzania	2,925,000	59
3	Dylan Wilkerson	United States	2,110,000	42

8	Rayhaan Adam	South Africa	1,535,000	31
9	Howard Lipman	Israel	2,110,000	42

Only the top five will earn a share of the ZAR 2,961,000 ($163,861) prize pool with the min cash worth nearly two times the buy-in. There are 30 minutes left at blinds of 30,000-50,000 with a big blind ante of 50,000 and the final day recommences at 1 p.m. local time. The conclusion of the tournament will be streamed on the Monster Jam Poker Tour Twitch and YouTube channels with cards-up coverage and commentary on a 30-minute delay.
