Keenan Pienaar opened to 115,000 in the hijack with the A♠9♠ and Sean Bloom came along in the big blind with the 7♥5♠. The J♥6♣3♦ flop was checked by Bloom and Pienaar bet 65,000 for Bloom to call.
Both checked the A♥ on the turn and Bloom jammed for 375,000 effective on the J♦ river after he missed his gutshot straight draw. Pienaar used two time bank extensions before sigh-folding.

Sean Bloom opened the action with a raise to 105,000 with A♦10♠ in an early position and Taariq Jaftha moved all-in for 535,000. Harold Brooks on the button reraised big and Bloom instantly folded.
Taariq Jaftha: 8♠8♣ 
Harold Brooks: Q♥Q♣
The Q♠7♠3♥ flop further improved Brooks to top set and Jaftha needed running spades or eights to stay in contention. It was all over on the A♥ turn to make the 8♦ river bittersweet. Jaftha has become the first casualty of the final table in ninth place for ZAR77,600 ($4,268)
