Event #4 chip counts on dinner break
On the last hand before dinner break, Matt won a massive pot against Lagen when he made a brave all in call. The board read [9d][9c][4d][Tc] and Lagen put Matt all in. Matt tanked and eventually called all in for around 260k, revealing [7d][7c]. He was ahead of Lagen's [6s][6c] and had to dodge two outs to survive. The [9h] on the river gave Matt the winning full house and the chip lead, while Lagen was knocked down to last place.

Event #4: 4th Place - Fazel Dawood ($6,471)
Down to 4 players, Fazel had yet to be all in or even call another player’s all in. With few chips left to play with, he elected to move all in under the gun with [Qd][2d]. Matt made the call in the small blind holding [Kc][Qs], and Fazel would need to spike a deuce to survive. By the river, the board showed [5d][Jh][9h][9s][Th] and Matt earned the knockout with a king high straight. Fazel busted in 4th place for $6,471, placing higher than his favorite poker player: Alvin Pillay.

Event #4: 5th Place - Werner Smit ($4,838)
Alvin finally met his demise when he ran his [8d][8c] ran into Matt’s [Ad][Ac]. Alvin tried to find an eight to survive, but instead Matt found an unneeded ace on the river to win the pot with top set. Alvin is a father of 2 from Durban, South Africa who has 15 final tables to his name. Today he will earn $1,783 for his 9th place finish.

The Grinder almost had his 2nd win locked up when he got Roman all in with K-Q against 7-7, but Roman hit a queen to survive and double up.
Both players are now on break.

Event #5 & Event #6 Updates
Event #5: $10,400 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em is finally underway after the players kept pushing it back to get more entrants. Currently there are four entrants: Michael Mizrachi, Scotty Nguyen, and two local South Africans. All the players seem to be having a good time, and Scotty's laugh can be heard all the way at the feature table, where Event #4 is still nine handed.

Event #4: 10th Place - Paulo Gonclaves ($1,445)
Paulo was all in and needed a huge amount of help as his [Kd][5c] was way behind his opponent’s [Ah][5h]. Paulo found a king on the [9h][Kh][4c] flop, but his excitement didn’t last long as the [Jh] on the turn completed his opponent’s flush. The meaningless [Qd] fell on the river to send Paulo to the rail in 10th place, good for $1,445.

3rd Place: Markus Feurie ($44,565)
Karl was next to get all in, but his [Ad][Kc] was in pretty good shape against Markus’s [Kh][Tc]. The [5d][2d][Ks][8d][Ac] board left Karl with a winning two pair to double up.
Now with a short stack, Markus went with his hand when he found the [4s][4h]. Unfortunately for him, Grinder picked up a bigger pocket pair with [Th][Ts]. The [Ah][Jh][8h] flop was no help for Markus, and the [9h] on the turn gave Grinder the winning flush. The [7h] river landed to improve Grinder to a straight flush, and Markus headed to the payout desk to collect $44,565 for his 3rd place finish.

4th Place: Jarred Soloman ($32,372)
The coolers continued when Jarred ran his [Jh][Jd] into Grinder’s [Kd][Kc]. Grinder barely had Jarred covered, so it would be a monumental pot for either player. Jarred was live all the way to the river, but could not hit a jack to survive. He will earn $32,372 for his 4th place finish on top of the $20,018 he picked up for winning Event #1.

5th Place: Kinesh Pather ($23,980)
Going into 6k/12k blinds, Kinesh was in last place with 155,000 chips. It wasn’t a tough decision for him to commit the rest of his of his chips when he was dealt [8h][8d]. Unfortunately for him, Markus woke up with [Jh][Jd]. It only got worse for Kinesh when the flop fell [5c][Js][Ac], and he would need to find both of the remaining eights to survive. His 0.1% did not come through when the turn and river fell [5h][9d], and Kinesh would have to settle for a 5th place finish, awarding him $23,980.

6th Place: Kenneth Morgan ($18,103)
Kenny and Markus had a major confrontation when they got it all in on a [2d][8s][9s][6d] board. It would be a momentum shifting pot as Kenny only had Markus slightly covered. Markus had flopped two pair with his [9c][8c], but Kenny had plenty of outs with second pair and a flush draw with his [Jd][8d]. The [4s] kept Markus’s two pair in front, and Kenny was crippled.
After folding a few hands, he was all in for his last ante with [Kd][Ts] against Grinder’s [Ad][5h]. The board ran out [9d][4s][5d][3h][2d] to give Grinder the wheel. Kenny will earn $18,103 for his 6th place finish.

7th Place: Menesh Keshav ($13,924)
At 5,000/10,000 blinds, Menesh raised to 25,000 and Jarred Soloman made the call. Both players checked the [Kc][4d][Kh] flop, but Menesh check-called a 40,000 chip bet from Jarred on the [2c] turn. When the [2h] hit the river, Menesh checked a third time, only to see Jarred bet 130k. Menesh moved all in for just a few chips more, and Jarred snap called and tabled [2d][2c] for quad deuces. Menesh's [Jh][Jc] was no match for this powerhouse hand, and he was sent to the rail in 7th place, good for $13,924.

8th Place: Eric Brand ($10,907)
Michael Mizrachi opened the pot for the minimum at 10,000/20,000 blinds. Eric Brand, next to act, moved all in for around 120k, and Mizrachi made the call.
Michael [Qc][8c]
Eric [Ad][9s]
Eric had the best hand preflop, but a drama-filled [2c][Ac][6h] flop fell to give The Grinder a flush draw. The [Jc] was just was he needed, and the meaningless [9d] on the river meant Eric will be our 8th place finisher, good for $10,907.
