Robin Laguma and Ian Timoney were the big winners in the R800 Grind on Sunday.
Both players were happy to take home R7000 apiece, with Robin recognised in first place as the biggest stack.
Riyadh Slamang and Chris Gin finished in 3rd and 4th place respectively, which earned them R5000 in the Top 4 deal.
Cas du Toit cashed for the second time in 4 days in 5th place. He was unable to find momentum in the latter stages of the tournament, and was knocked out when Ian spiked a 10 with J10 ♥️ suited.
There were bubble prizes created for 6th and 7th spots, which were collected by Strini Govender and Rashid Harricombe.
Strini was knocked out when Cas spiked an Ace on the flop with AJ.
While Rashid found himself in a 3-way all-in pot with AJ against Robin’s Queens and Chris’s KQ ♥️ suited. The flop brought two hearts, but a River Queen handed Robin a big pot.
Newcomer Prasun Singh grinded well but unfortunately finished short of the money as he ran into Cas’s pocket Queens. He earns Player of the Year points in 8th place.
WELL DONE WINNERS!
