Strini Govender and Cas du Toit were the big winners in the R600 Turbo at Concept Social Poker Club on Thursday night.
Both players agreed to split the top prize, which saw them earn R5750 apiece.
Strini finished in first as he had the chip lead, while it was another good result for Cas, who recently cashed at the series in Montecasino.
Nigel Heldsinger finished in third as he was part of a Top 3 split which saw him walk away with R5000 for bronze.
Gareth Duncan finished in 4th place after he lost most of his chips with AQ against Nigel’s pocket 8s on a A58 flop. He then shoved 85 ♥️ suited and got called by Cas with 107 ♦️ suited. The ♥️ flush draw flopped, but the Turn and River bricked.
Dimitri Stephanis grinded to 5th place but just couldn’t catch momentum on final table. He shoved his short stack with J7 ♥️ suited and got called by Strini’s K10 in the big blind, which flopped a King.
Charl Chaka secured his first cash at Concept as a bubble prize was created for 6th place. Charl was building great momentum, but unfortunately ran into a big hand against Gareth. With A8 ♣️ suited, he shoved all in on a K♣️Q♣️10♠️ flop. He was called by Gareth with K10, who hit a 10 on the Turn to boat up and lock down the pot. An inconsequential Jack fell on the River for a consolation straight.
Suvir Doodnath missed out on the money in 7th place as he shoved pocket 4s into Nigel’s Kings, which held up.
Vicky Moodley ended in 8th as he shoved into Strini’s pocket Aces.
WELL DONE WINNERS!
