Van Huyssteen Busts; Dean Thrives Further
Justin Cohen value-bet a queen-high river for 20,000 and was called by Christopher Dean to declare "I have a queen" before Dean replied "so do I", exposing the A?Q?.
"That's bad," Cohen chimed in as he flashed the Q?J? before the pot was shipped to the other side of the table.
At the same time one table over, the flop showed 9?5?3? and Braam van Huyssteen bet for 12,000 out of the small blind to get called by Eban Lottering in late position. Van Huyssteen used a time bank on the 8? turn before he jammed for a short stack and Lottering instantly tossed in calling chips.
Braam van Huyssteen: [pc]9d8d] 
Eban Lottering: 5?5?
Van Huyssteen needed an eight or nine but the A? river ended his run shy of making Day 2. Fellow The Hendon Mob Challenge finalist Renier Britz followed suit moments later to bring the field down to the last 24 contenders.
