High Roller rescheduled
Event #5: $10,400 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em has been rescheduled for tomorrow, Sunday February 10 at 3pm. Tournament Director Jack Effel is working on the structure to make it a one day event so that players still in the Main Event will have a chance to play.
Main Event Unofficial Final Table Reached
Two players have been eliminated in the money, and we have reached the unofficial final table of 10 players. The featured table is still playing a hand, but when they are done they will redraw for their final seats.
Main Event is now in the money
After running pocket tens into his opponents pocket aces, Daniel Lamberti was all in preflop against two players. On a [Qh][Kc][6s] flop, Michael Mizrachi bet and his opponent folded. The hands were revealed:
Michael [Kc][9c]
Daniel [Jc][7c]
Daniel would need to go runner runner to survive. The [3h] left Daniel drawing dead, and when the [Qc] hit the river, Daniel was already packed up and ready to go. He wished the table good luck and headed to the rail.
A video of the hand will be posted shortly.

Ladies Event - $235 No-Limit Hold’em Final Results
2012/2013 WSOP Circuit Africa
Ladies Event - $235 No-Limit Hold’em (Friday, February 7,
2013)
34 entries / $6,596 prize pool
The Ladies Event is a special event on
the WSOP Circuit Africa schedule, in that it awards a gold pendant rather than
a ring. This year’s WSOP Circuit Africa
Ladies Event is even more special in that there were two repeat Ladies Event
final tablists in Chandra Deib and defending champion Pippa Rockas. Here are the final table participants and
their starting chip counts:
Seat 1: Lizelda Goslin - 58,600
Seat 2: Janet Blinn - 8,000
Seat 3: Pippa Rockas - 25,400
Seat 4: Chandra Deib - 29,400
Seat 5: Sascha Dreyer - 20,000
Seat 6: Sarie Lloyd - 40,500
Seat 7: Debbie Pollard - 16,300
Seat 8: Zita Rei Bohm - 18,400
Seat 9: Ann Moodley - 25,500
Seat 10: Cindy Naidoo - 18,800
Janet was first to hit the rail when
she missed a monster draw. Janet got all
in on a 7♥Q♥A♣
flop holding J♥T♥
for straight and flush draws against Chandra’s A♥T♣. The turn and river showed no love for Janet
when it came 5♠4♣, and she was forced to exit the tournament in 10th
place. Janet is married with 3 kids and
says her poker ambition is to “stay as good as I am.”
Sascha was next to fall when her A-Q
came up short against two other players.
The action was checked to the river, and one of her opponents produced
the winning pair of nines to send her Sascha to the rail in 9th
place. Sascha says she doesn’t have
enough poker accomplishments, but this final table may make her re-think that.
Ann ran her pocket tens ran into her
opponent’s pocket kings, and the 9♠3♥6♥5♣4♥ board couldn’t
save her. Ann has been playing poker for 5 years, but today she will have to
settle for 8th place.
Debbie had made some noise earlier
when she made a full house with her pocket fours, but she ended up exiting the
tournament in 7th place.
Debbie was born in London and now lives in Centurion, Gauteng.
Pippa was hoping to duplicate her 2012
success, but ran into some bad luck.
First, her pocket nines were cracked by Zita’s queen-nine when a queen
flopped. Then, Pippa shoved all in with
pocket deuces and received an astounding three callers. All players checked the
7♣K♦J♥ flop, but
there was betting on the 6♥ turn and K♥ river. One of
Pippa’s opponents produced a jack for a better two pair, and Pippa headed to
the rail in 6th place. Pippa
learned to play poker in 2008 on cruise ships, and hopes to play the WSOP in
Las Vegas one day.
With the bubble looming, two players
were at risk of elimination. First,
Cindy doubled up with A♣J♦ vs. Sarie’s K♦Q♥, all in on the A♥7♠K♣ flop. The
board ran out T♣8♥ to keep the pair of aces out
in front. Then Sarie doubled up when her
6♠6♣ held strong against Chandra’s 5♠5♣ through a 9♦2♠3♠6♦3♦ board.
Cindy put herself at risk again and
was way ahead with her K♥K♣ against Sarie’s 9♥9♣. The 4♣A♣A♥ flop was perfectly safe, but the 9♦ spiked on the turn to give Sarie a set. Cindy was looking for one of the two
remaining kings in the deck, but failed to find it when the T♥ hit the river.
Cindy is a teacher from Durban, South Africa and exited this tournament
in 5th place, one spot short of the money.
With the four remaining players now in
the money, there were a flurry of all ins and calls. Eventually it was Lizelda that would be the 4th
place finisher when her K♠J♠ failed to outrace Sarie’s 3♦3♣. The Q♥8♠T♦ flop gave Lizelda
a straight draw as well as her two overcards, and the 8♥
turn gave her counterfit outs as well.
Lizelda missed her 20-outer on the 7♠ river and headed to the payout
desk to collect $660.
Sarie had poor timing when she jammed K♦7♦ into Zita’s A♦A♣. Though
Sarie hit top pair on the K♥4♠T♠ flop, the 9♣
turn and Q♥ river failed to give Sarie a better
hand than a pair of aces. For her 3rd
place finish, Sarie collects $989.
Sarie’s favorite poker player is Scotty Nguyen, who has been in
attendance at WSOP Circuit South Africa since the beginning. She is married with 3 kids.
Going into heads up play, Zita had a
chip lead over Chandra. The two battled
for over an hour trading pots back and forth before finally getting it all
in. At 8,000/16,000 blinds, Chandra moved
all in for 46,500 with K♥5♥, and Zita called with the superior A♦9♣. Chandra
was live all the way to the river, but could not connect on the 2♦Q♣2♠2♥6♣ board. Chandra improved on last year’s 6th
place finish with a runner-up finish today, and she earned $1,979 for her efforts.
Zita was very emotional after her
winning, wiping tears from her eyes as she was presented the gold pendant from
Tournament Director Jack Effel. On her
bio sheet, Zita said she wished she was a poker pro. Today, she may have achieved that goal, and
the $2,968 she won for her first place prize will help her on her way to play
more poker tournaments.
1st Place: Zita Rei Bohm ($2,968)
2nd Place: Chandra Deib ($1,979)
3rd Place: Sarie Lloyd ($989)
4th Place: Lizelda Goslin ($660)
