Ronica Chetty and Nathan Kolbe were the big winners at the R500 Satellite on Sunday.
Both players boasted big stacks going into heads-up, and agreed to split the Top 2 prizes for an equal share of R12 000. This is enough for a Main Event seat and cash towards accommodation at Montecasino.
Mrs Chetty claimed first place as she had the bigger chip stack after the deal was made.
The final 4 decided to create bubble prizes for 3rd and 4th place, which were claimed by Brian Sampson and Francis Vanderlinden respectively. Both players added R3500 and R3000 to their Jozi bankrolls.
Gareth Duncan was the unfortunate bubble boy as he was eliminated in 5th place, his A5 got sunk on the River by Nathan’s flush.
Patrick Perez finished in 6th place as he shoved with middle pair of 10s on the board. He was knocked by Nathan, who won the pot with a bigger kicker.
Vicky Moodley suffered a cooler in 7th place as he shoved with Jacks into Ronica’s Queens among the blinds. The bigger pair held up.
Terry Hangone rounded up the final table results in 8th place.
