Seniors Championship ($300)

Rudolf Fourie pushed all-in utg for his last 45,000 (8 BB) and was looked up by Calvin Tan right on the big blind.

Tan a huge favorite to win, had no problem dusting his opponent with top set on board A♣ J♥ 3♦ 8♠ T♠ .

Rudolf Fourie on the small blind, made it 12,500 to go and saw Harry Cheatman come along.

On flop 2♥ 6♦ T♥ , Fourie check called a 5,000 bet from his opponent, revealing turn J♣ . Both checked it through to river T♠ , where Cheatman gunned for a final 15,000, checked once more to him. Fourie slipped the fold, saving his seven big blinds behind.

Alfie Adam open shoved utg for his last 35,500 (9 BB) and was called by Rudolf Fourie on the button.

Adam in rough shape, was the first player to walk away with a payout after board 7♠ 3♦ 8♥ 8♠ J♠ failed to save him from his demise.

Today's WPT Seniors Championship is down to its final seven players with USA's Harry Cheatham standing in the forefront. Cheatham delivered the last two eliminations and leads the hunt for the $5,135 top prize.

Final Table Chip Counts

Rudolf Fourie open shoved 21,500 (9 BB) utg and was called by Markus Albisser on the cutoff.

Big blind showed a 2♥ , leaving Fourie in even rougher shape as it is. Lucky for him, the last deuce showed up on board 2♣ 3♣ 7♣ 3♦ 4♦ , keeping him in the running.

Another all-in preflop situation saw Rudolf Fourie gladly risk his remaining 9,700 with the best hand in the deck up against Michael Wood's pocket pair.

Wood in rough shape, turned the tables instantly, having spiked his two outer on board 9♦ 5♥ T♣ J♠ 7♦ to lock in the win.

A three way all-in ensued with Rudolf Fourie covering both Stuart Green - 9,200 (18 BB) and Calvin Tan - 7,500 (15 BB).

Lucky for Tan, board 4♦ T♦ 3♦ 6♥ 3♣ rolled him a boat, earning him a clean triple up while Fourie took the side pot, eliminating Green in the process.
